According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in February 2025, 17.82% of young people in Indonesia were not engaged in any activity, or were "youth not in education, employment, and training" (NEET).

This figure decreased by 1.48 percentage points from February 2024, when the NEET rate was 19.30%. This achievement also marks the lowest rate in recent years, as shown in the attached graph.

BPS defines NEET as individuals aged 15-24 years who are outside the education system, not currently working, and not participating in training.

"This group can be considered a lost and untapped potential workforce," BPS wrote in its report, *Indikator Kesejahteraan Rakyat 2025* (People's Welfare Indicators 2025).

When viewed by the highest level of education completed, the highest proportion of NEETs is found among those who have not completed or have not yet completed primary school, reaching 41.71%.

This is followed by those with a Diploma IV (32.71%), Senior High School (SMA) (24.12%), Diploma I/II/III (20.39%), and Vocational High School (SMK) (20.27%).

"It is possible that newly graduated groups have not yet decided whether to continue their education, work, or participate in training, being in a transitional period from the world of education to the world of work," BPS wrote.
