    lmao, NEET is also like a really popular entrance examination in india that parents coaches and sent their kids to write so eventually they will become doctors.

  It means they are a burden on everyone around them on purpose.

    A lot of them are depressed, autistic or have a visible disability. It’s really hard for them to find a job, especially in this economy. Many of them don’t receive the support they need because they’re adults. I don’t think NEETs like being NEETs. So your statement is pretty ableist considering the reality of people.

      And a lot of them are simply taking advantage of their families and friends. If you identify yourself with a cutesy acronym that specifically describes how little effort you are putting into your life I refuse to take you seriously.

        This acronym was not selfchosen, it’s mainly used in work statistics by the state, and the reasons to fall into that group are very diverse. Mental Illness, physical illness, having to care for family members, bad economy, no available jobs that would pay the bills in rural areas and so on. The amount of people living this way out of their own choice is pretty limited. It’s the same faulty way to think about this like it is done about homeless people and illegal immigrants, and it only makes it harder for them to change their situation.

    It’s not necessarily on purpose or being a burden on anyone. Last year I spent quite a while as a NEET living off my savings while job hunting. Yes it’s generally tied to those who are voluntarily unemployed without savings or responsibilities, but that’s just among those taking pride or joking about it. It’s just an economic category, and it’s one that I and many others fear we may be forced into in the near future.

        NEET is people who actively do not pursue employment, aren’t in school, and who refuse to work at all. Most often they are just young people who are totally dependent on their families/parents. Sometimes they are just rich people who don’t have to work and fuck around. Often they are socially isolated and don’t have active social involvement with anyone.

        NEET literally means “Not in employment, education or training”, it’s just not usually used by people who are in school or short-term unemployed.

    Don’t know if it’s necessarily on purpose. Some people lose their job or have to withdraw from schooling against their desires and spiral into depression. So burden, yes. On purpose, probably in the majority or more infamous cases, but far from always.

    Not in*

    You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you’re not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you’re a NEET.

    Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You’re not a NEET if you’re just between jobs.

    It also implies that you’re not seeking out any of those things but I don’t think that’s a “requirement”
