A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF YOUNG PEOPLE NEITHER IN EDUCATION NOR IN EMPLOYMENT (NEETS) IN TÜRKİYE
Young people “neither in education nor in employment” (NEET) constitute one of the most important indicators of the labor market. The NEET indicator tracks the situation of individuals aged 15–24 or 15–29 who have completed their education but are not currently employed. The higher the NEET rate, the larger the share of young people who are disconnected from both production and education in one country.
