How many NEETs are in Japan? Do they keep tabs on that?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:02:22 2008 No.540054 There's about 4.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:02:32 2008 No.540055 anyone unemployed is a NEET

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:03:55 2008 No.540061 1/3 the population under the age of 30 1/20 the population above 30

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:04:13 2008 No.540062 >>540055 Yeah but I imagine the common unemployed worker is at least looking for work or to improve their lives. NEETs don't care

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:07:50 2008 No.540079 >>540062 NEET means not employed, in education, or in training. That includes unemployed workers looking for jobs. Mindsets among NEETs vary though, from those that are actively trying to find out of their NEET status to those that proudly embrace it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:08:15 2008 No.540080 Somewhere in the millions.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:12:36 2008 No.540092 >>540079 Then why has the term been created if it simply means unemployed?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:13:32 2008 No.540096 >>540092 Because it doesn't just mean unemployed. LEARN TO READ.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:13:47 2008 No.540097 People aged between 15 and 34 who are unemployed, unmarried, not enrolled in school or engaged in housework, and not seeking work or the technical training needed for work.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:21:58 2008 No.540130 so anyone with a future or life is not a NEET?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:23:16 2008 No.540141 About 20% of all adolescents in Japan are NEETs.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:24:37 2008 No.540147 >>540049 Multiply the suicide number by 10.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 22:24:55 2008 No.540149 How many NEETs in the U.S.?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:15:02 2008 No.540374 >>540096 so anyone who losses their job, even someone with a doctorate in chemistry automatically becomes NEET? Don't think it was ever supposed to have that meaning

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:16:11 2008 No.540380 >>540374 No, a NEET is someone who isn't being educated, isn't employed, and isn't actively seeking either.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:19:40 2008 No.540409 >>540380 so all the retired men and women are NEETs? >and isn't actively seeking either that isn't what >>540079 said

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:22:08 2008 No.540428 >>540374 Well, if you stop looking for employment, or there just isn't any and you don't care, you count as NEET.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:24:54 2008 No.540443 NEET is a lifestyle. Paris Hilton is obviously not a NEET.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:26:13 2008 No.540453 >>540443 She's sort of self-employed. People pay her to go places and do things. Trust fund babies can do that sort of thing.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 30 23:39:19 2008 No.540501 >>540409 The term is typically applied to people 17-30 or so... An old person retired is just that.. a retired old person.
