Between 2012 and 2022, the share of youth in Denmark who were neither in education, employment nor training (NEET) was constantly higher among foreign-born youth than youth born in Denmark. The NEET-rate among youth born outside of Denmark increased rapidly in 2017 following the high number of young refugees arriving in Denmark in the years before. In 2022, the NEET-rate was nearly 12 percent among foreign-born youth and 8.5 percent among Danish-born youth.
Share of foreign-born youth not in education, employment or training (NEET) in Denmark from 2012 to 2022
(compared to Danish-born youth)
The indicator on young people neither in employment nor in education and training (NEET) corresponds to the percentage of the population of a given age group and sex who is not employed and not involved in further education or training. The numerator of the indicator refers to persons who meet the following two conditions: (a) they are not employed (i.e. unemployed or inactive according to the International Labour Organisation definition) and (b) they have not received any education or training (i.e. neither formal nor non-formal) in the four weeks preceding the survey. The denominator in the total population consists of the same age group and sex, excluding the respondents who have not answered the question 'participation in regular (formal) education and training'. Due to no answers to the variable 'participation in education and training' or 'educational attainment level', certain breakdowns of NEET rates may not exactly sum up to the overall NEET rate for a given age group and sex.
