Abstract	Young people who are not studying, in training or working make up what is known as the 'NEET' group (not in education, employment or training). The NEET indicator has been regularly published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since the late 1990s, as NEET youth are considered to be "potentially at risk for economic and social difficulties" (Statistics Canada and CMEC 2016). This fact sheet focuses on young NEET Canadians aged 25 to 29 years old. It is the second of three fact sheets that examines the three traditional age groups that are usually considered for studying the transition from school to work (15- to 19-year-olds, 20- to 24-year-olds, and 25- to 29-year-olds). The relationships of these three age groups with the labour market and education are very different: most 15- to 19-year-olds are still in school, 20- to 24-year-olds have begun their transition from school to the labour force while those aged 25 to 29 are mainly employed. As a result, the reasons for young people to be in the NEET population will partly depend on their age group. Understanding and monitoring the NEET rate of young adults is important as it may be an indicator of potential problems in certain systems (education, labour market) or social trends among young adults, such as a change in the relative importance of work compared with time devoted to the family, travel, volunteering, or other activities. Young NEET adults have been the subject of significant study (Statistics Canada and CMEC, 2018; Marshall, 2012; OECD, 2017; The Institut de la statistique du Québec, 2013). This fact sheet, which uses recent 2017/2018 data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), is different due to the specific age group it is studying--25 to 29 years--and to its interprovincial comparisons. It explores in-depth gender-based differences, the effect of young Canadians' highest level of education, as well as the impact of children in households. (ERIC).
