“…While many studies investigate the problem of youth unemployment in Turkey, very few of them take into account the NEETs. Two exceptions are Yanik-Ilhan and Tunali (2009) and Kilic (2014). Yanik-Ilhan and Tunali (2009) examine the evolution of the transition from school to first permanent jobs during the 1988-2006 period and document that more than half of the women are NEETs.…”

“…Yanik-Ilhan and Tunali (2009) examine the evolution of the transition from school to first permanent jobs during the 1988-2006 period and document that more than half of the women are NEETs. Similarly, using data from the 2012 wave of the Household Labor Force survey, Kilic (2014) documents that the category of NEET is predominantly female and more likely to have no prior work experience.…”

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, drawing on data from the Household Labor Force Surveys over the period 2004-2013, it examines the determinants of the NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) status for the Turkish youth. This is particularly important for Turkey as it has the highest NEET rate among the OECD countries. Second, it describes the movement of the youth across four states: education, employment, unemployment and inactivity. Probit results indicate that gender and educational attainment are key factors for explaining the NEET status. Findings also show that a greater number of household members that are in employment is associated with a lower likelihood of NEET. Transition analyses reveal that the state of inactivity remains highly persistent despite the substantial fall over the sample period. In addition, the rise in the persistence of education between 2007 and 2009 underlines the choice of the youth to stay in education in response to the fall in labor market prospects.

“…Same findings in a study of Greece (Drakaki, 2014), that for most people with NEET status have a lower levels of education. This is also found to be true in another study (Kilic, 2014) about Turkey.…”

“…In the same paper also mentioned that NEET is related with problems like early school leaving, youth unemployment and labor market discouragement. Poverty has an indirect impact on NEET problem in Turkey, one study (Kilic, 2014) found "studies on social exclusion and poverty among young people have identified various problems that negatively affected these individuals' ability to benefit from their education, such as the limited number of extracurricular activities, overcrowded classroom, and unsuitable environment at home for studying.

This paper explores the relationship between young people aged 15 to 24 who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET) and socio-economic background in Thailand. Using a linear probability model with 16,329 samples with data from 2007 Socio-Economic Survey of Thailand and 12,813 samples with data from the 2017 Socio-Economic Survey of Thailand, I find that the results are sensitive to the definition of NEET used. For NEET status that includes unpaid family workers, I find that in both 2007 and 2017 data, compared to the lowest income group, individuals from household with higher average monthly income per capita are less likely to be NEET. People with more years of education are less likely to be NEET, but this trend reverses with higher education. However, for NEET status that excludes unpaid family workers, there are no differences across income groups and gender, and people with more education are less likely to be NEET, but the opposite is true for those with a university degree. Both male and female from North and Northeast region are less likely to be NEET compared to Bangkok when unpaid family workers exclude from NEET. Many people who might be classified as NEET in other country context are actually economically active in the informal economy in the Thai context.

“…Our research revealed four works that previously investigated the status of NEET in Turkey. The first study in Turkey was conducted by Kılıç (2014) and examined the demographic characteristics of young people with NEET using the relational research method. In the study, it was concluded that women are more likely to be NEET than men, the probability of being NEET increases with age, and low education increases the probability of being NEET.…”

The concept of youth not in education, training, and employment (NEET) is a relatively new popular concept. Its popularity is largely due to the fact that it takes into account different vulnerabilities such as unemployment and early school leaving, which are common among young people. The aim of this study is to examine the NEET youth in Turkey. In this context, the situation of young people in NEET status is examined according to gender, age, education level, marital status, and regional differences. For this purpose, the data pooled from the Household Labor Force Survey for the years 2014-2020 was used. In the study, first, NEET interpretations were made for Turkey using descriptive statistical tools, and then a logit analysis was performed to identify the determinants of NEET in Turkey. The findings reveal that demographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, age, education level, and region of residence are among the determinants of NEET.
