Youth Unemployment Crisis and Neets

     The number of unemployed youth has grown by four million since 2007. More alarming is that millions more disconnected youth are giving up searching for a job entirely. The global youth jobless rate is stuck at critical levels and is expected to remain there until at least 2016, according to the International Labour Organization. Of primary concern are young people who are neither in employment, nor in education or training - referred to in many countries as Neet. An article posted on the theglobeandmail.com discusses this segment of the population as one that has been growing in recent years, especially in the developed world, reflecting a detachment from the labour market.
