The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that the percentage of young people without activities reached 22.4% in 2021.

This figure is slightly down from 2020, which was 24.28%.

According to BPS, young people without activities are those aged 15-24 who are not in education, not working, and not participating in training, indicating a decrease in potential workforce.

In 2021, the proportion of young people without activities was highest among women, at 25.93%. The percentage for men was 18.94%.

BPS notes that the high proportion of young women without activities indicates their significant involvement in household chores, which can prevent them from continuing their education or acquiring work skills.

Despair, disability, lack of transportation, and household chores are some of the reasons that prevent young people from engaging in activities, according to BPS.
