    1. Washing your hands after toilet use is obviously not good for employment or education.

      The uk has seen a huge increase in young people claiming disability benefits. The trend is very worrying for the next few years. We’re going to spend more on new claims than we do on the whole police budget by the end of this parliament. Taxes will have to rise to cover it.

      Fun fact: In Spanish, “Neither studies nor works” is “Ni estudia ni trabaja.” So people not studying or working in Spain are called Nini.

      In Sweden they put you in random useless work help courses to pad the stats.

      They send people to go do yoga once a week and that counts just as much as being full time employed on thier papers

      How can young people in Europe not be in employment or education and training? You guys keep telling us that education is free. So what obstacles are preventing the young people in Europe from pursuing any of that?

    7. Yet in Romania the „far-right extremists“ blame Nepalese workers that come here and work 12h/day for 800€ for the fact that our young people are not working, while their children are claiming social security benefits and unemployment benefits – being lazy and not wanting to work.

      In some places this number might be misleading, and the real unemployment rate of young adults is not that bad. In Hungary, Romania, and Serbia, young people, especially in rural areas, often do actual work, but frequently under the table, meaning undeclared or illegal employment. I grew up in Hungary and have family and friends in both Romania and Serbia. Things have improved a lot since I was young, but it is still quite common in poorer areas for employers to exploit desperate youth by illegally employing them and pocketing the tax benefits of this kind of arrangement.

      Edit: This could be true for many other countries as well, I just mentioned those three because I have personally witnessed what is going on there.

      I think to be complete this kind of study should have a time limit.
      It took me almost one and half a year to find a job after the end of my education.

      So it might be that most of those percent just have been without employment or education for a few months.

      You could make it much clearer by saying „… For at least X years“ or months, and see a curve evolve. This would be much easier to understand and analyse.

      How about stay-at-home parents? Are they also in the stats? Cause that could affect the results a lot.

      At least for Romania I have some doubts about the numbers. The Romanian state does not really know how many people live in the country. I suspect a lot of the young adults counted in this statistic are actually living/studying/working in other EU countries.

      The bureaucratic system in Romania requires you to have an ID to do most things. However you only get the ID if you live in the country and have permanent address there. So most Romanians living outside the country still have IDs showing them as living inside Romania. There is always a huge disparity between the numbers provided by the Romanian state and the figures that you can get from other EU countries about the number of Romanians registered there.

    12. Feels like we are completely ducked in Europe. Too many old people that overwhelm the health system to artificially give them 5 more miserable years, too few young people and even fewer of them contributing to the society.

      Young people tend to still live with parents after hs or college so there is no pressure to move out and find a job. I think that plays a major part in the first two.

      Y you need employment or education when you can just sell feet pics online?

      I believe there is something wrong with this data. Sweden’s rate must be much more than this. The unemployment rate is already higher than the EU average, I don’t think the NEET will be this low.
