Being a NEET is the norm in this economy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10838092
No. That's being underemployed (includes freeters and temp contracts who can't get stable FT). True unemployment isn't as bad anymore unless you're a yuropor stuck in Spain or Greece.

The US at least has a 65% labor participation rate. That means 35% of the population aren't even trying to get a job. Add that to the 8% unemployment rate and 43% of the population are NEETs. It's not a majority, but it's certainly normal.

>>10838104
You can only blame the economy on behalf of discouraged workers and there aren't many hard stats on them. There's also students in that 35% who can't be branded as NEETs. You can't blame the economy for people choosing to be stay at home parents or being truly disabled and unable to work either.

Oh and don't forget some people are retired before 65 too.

...because they're little kids, old people, or house-spouses? Think, McFly, think.

Right. It depends on how you define the eligible population. I'm pretty sure for my country it's people aged 18-65 for the labour participation calculation. They might have to revise the upper age cap at this rate with poor non-McJob growth though haha.

There's always a natural unemployment rate. One of the things that hasn't been mentioned is how generous the social safety nets are - a driver of NARU. If they are too damn generous, many people who would otherwise work shitty jobs won't have any incentive to and will try to milk the system. Why flip burgers if you can somehow get the state to give you about the same sitting on your ass? That kind of thing you blame true socialist hippies for.

What he said: >>10838124

Young people (<16) and people above the retirement age (>65) aren't calculated into that number

>or house-spouses
>woah are you a real time traveler bro

Clearly he's from the 1950's, when people quit their jobs to raise children.

There may be noteably fewer, but you still can't blame the economy for people who choose to be stay at home moms and dads. Have a drive around the better parts of suburbia. Entire streets of housewives.

Well you can't really blame the economy for any NEET by CHOICE.

Used to be you could support a wife and family working at a shoe shop in a department store, doesn't work that way anymore. Maybe it should.

Anyway, we don't need a neet imageboard, we probably already have a text board that nobody visits, just for this shit of yours that you're so used to having in here that you can't STAND it not being here. mootles shoulda left r9k down, just left it down, criticism be damned, and you can go fuck yourselves too. Go blog about how you're fishing little squirmy worms and bugs outta your asses on some twitter, yolo tag it all.

That's true, however, I don't see why I should take a 9-5 job when I still have to live in my parent's basement because of low salary when I could just mooch off my parents without the 9-5 job. There needs to be both lower welfare and higher minimum wage to encourage people to get jobs.

If you just can't get a job - any job - no matter how hard you try, then by all means blame the economy. If you're a NEET by choice, you can't justify using it as a scapegoat for not working. Like I said at the beginning - underemployment is the real problem. Armies of college grads working McJobs, people who can't get FT and temps with no benefits or stability. Definitely agree though lots of shitty jobs (usually defined as barely or non-liveable wage, no real advancement prospects, no/poor benefits) out there and alot of the recovery has been fueled by shitty job gains.

Here in Europe, we get politicians advocating emulating the new German models to kill unemployment, but they conveniently forget to mention the current German economy has a growing underclass of millions of people working hard labour jobs at a rate that barely feeds.

Why do people keep repeating this bull? You could just start studying by yourself. A person who can read, use the internet and has access to first world libraries already has more _professionally useful_ information on his hands than a relatively terrible college degree could teach. If there's a little bit of money available, you can actually buy the paperback versions of the books they use in the top universities. Practice materials are equally imporant, as is actually doing them. Stealing is illegal.

Some "any jobs" are objectively complete waste of time and they exist to act as indicators of loyalty. If you don't need a steady cashflow to feed your kids with, why would you waste your time flipping burgers? Strike when you're ready, not when you're tired, desperate and pressured.

Studying has multiple positive effects:
- it gives you actual fact knowledge about the world as long as you aren't reading political or commercial nonsense
- it teaches you that it's actually pretty ok if you just stick to it long enough
- it distances you from the histrionic retards that are very common among relatively poor people (these people are poisonous - they actively use and degrade nice boys and girls of all ages to make themselves look like bosses)

Imitate the good ones until you know better. Studying is sensitive business and sensitive people get confused, sometimes for days, if they're confronted with sufficiently insane things. It's not coincidence that successful students usually have stable and supportive families. As an adult, you don't really need one. You've already seen it all - there's no point in sheltering you. You just have to stop wallowing in your learned inferiority and greed. How many years do you have? 40 or 50?

There's nothing natural about it.
