This indicator shows the percentage of youth, aged 16 to 19, who are not enrolled in school and not working.

Numerator = Total estimate of youth aged 16-19 who are not enrolled in school and are unemployed or not in labor force

Denominator = Total estimate of population aged 16-19

Why is this important?

Youth who are not in school and are not employed face both short- and long-term barriers to career success. Young people who lack financial stability may be forced to postpone major life decisions such as purchasing a home or starting a family. Prolonged unemployment increases the likelihood that individuals will earn lower wages or face more periods of unemployment throughout their lives. Economic prospects for youth can be improved by increasing high school graduation rates, increasing access to post-secondary education, and providing career counseling services to students as well as youth who have either completed or dropped out of school.
