A disturbing new study on employment of young talent last week revealed how 15%, or 1.5 million Thai youth aged between 15-24, are classified as being NEETs -- an acronym for those "not in employment, education, or training."
The study, based on data from the National Statistical Office, shows the extent of the problem as the number of youths in the labour force has fallen from 4.8 million in 2011, to 3.7 million in 2021.
