  Unemployed would also include students, or people actively gaining qualifications to eventually get a job.

    Students aren’t typically counted as “unemployed”, though that’s different from country to country.

  NEETs are not looking for employment either and wouldn’t take it if it was offered.

    Weird how that’s exactly what people are saying about the longterm unemployed where I live. For the majority of them it’s not true.

      Upon further consideration, you have a point. A self identified NEET might not, but it’s also a label that is applied to people who might want to gain employment or training but don’t have the opportunity.
