NEET Generation Refuses to Grow up

Chinese society is becoming increasingly concerned about the country’s NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) generation. NEETs are jobless youths aged between 15 and 34 who still rely on their parents or partners. There are three categories of NEET: Those who do not want to work, those who have lost their jobs, and those who will not settle for anything less than their elusive ideal job. Sociologists say that ‘NEET-ism’ is good for neither the individual nor society.
