% of people aged 15–24 - Source frequency: annual · Methodology · Corrections
Australia's youth neet rate was 8.0% as of January 2025. The share of young people aged 15–24 who are not in employment, education or training (NEET). It captures young people disconnected from both work and study — a broader signal of disadvantage than youth unemployment alone, and a predictor of long-term exclusion. Data is sourced from World Bank / OECD (SL.UEM.NEET.ZS) and updated annually.
