对青年失业的担忧已被关注那些未接受教育、未就业或未接受培训的青年人 (NEET) 所取代。鉴于目前青年失业率较低，这种强调有助于提醒我们失业率的上升。就业水平的提高并不一定伴随着脆弱性的降低。虽然 NEET 可以用作代表有问题的转型的概念，但它是一个考虑不周的概念，过分且常常误导性地强调唯意志主义。本文借鉴苏格兰离校生调查，探讨了 NEET 不同定义的政策含义，强调了 NEET 的流行程度，并研究了 NEET 人群的特征。有人认为，为了有效地代表弱势青年，我们必须使用一套比 NEET 所代表的定义更窄的定义，或者采用更广泛的定义，为更深远的干预措施提供基础。
Concern with youth unemployment has been replaced with a focus on those not in education, in employment, or in training (NEET). With current levels of youth unemployment low, this emphasis helps remind us that an increase. in employment levels is not necessarily accompanied by a reduction in vulnerability. While NEET can be used as a concept for representing problematic transitions, it is an ill-considered concept that places an undue and often misleading emphasis on voluntarism. Drawing on the Scottish School Leavers Survey, the article explores the policy implications of different definitions of NEET highlights its prevalence, and examines the characteristics of those who are NEET. It is argued that to represent vulnerable youth effectively we must either use a set of definitions that are narrower than that represented by NEET or adopt a much broader definition that provides a basis for more far-reaching interventions.
