Some 26% of Italians between
the ages of 18 and 24 are not in employment, education or
training (NEETs), compared to an OECD average of 14%, the
organisation said Tuesday.
Italy has the third highest percentage of NEETs in the OECD,
it said.
On average across OECD countries, 14.3% of 18-24 year-olds
are neither employed nor in education or training (NEET).
In Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Italy, South Africa and
Turkey, over 25% of 18-24 year-olds are NEET.
The new government has pledged to create jobs for the young
and lure young people back form abroad.
