Young people are key drivers of social and economic change. They are the human capital of every country. Yet, in Europe, many young people are ‘neither in employment nor in education or training’ (NEET).
In 2024, 11% of people aged 15 to 29 in the EU were NEET. The EU wants to cut this figure to below 9% by 2030. Yet, as of 2024, only 11 out of 34 European countries have already met this target.
