SDG Indicator 8.6.1 – The youth NEET rate DESIRED DISAGGREGATIONS ● No disaggregations specifically required ● Strongly advisable to have data at least by sex ● Overarching principle of data disaggregation of the SDG Global Indicator Framework:  SDG indicators should be disaggregated, where relevant, by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographical location. 11 ILO Department of Statistics

SDG Indicator 8.6.1 – The youth NEET rate DATA SOURCES Information needed on: ● Age ● Labour market situation (employed or not) ● Education and training participation / enrolment  Labour force surveys preferred source Data available in ILOSTAT for over 140 countries 12 ILO Department of Statistics

SDG Indicator 8.6.1 – The youth NEET rate INTERPRETATION & USE Measure of youth labour underutilization o Broader than youth unemployment o Broader than youth inactivity o Captures also the fact of not developing skills and qualifications (not in Ed or Tr)  Complementary measures: youth LFPR, youth UR  NEET composed of two subgroups (unemployed and outside the labour force): -> important for interpretation 13 ILO Department of Statistics

SDG Indicator 8.6.1 – The youth NEET rate LIMITATIONS ● Comparability issues linked to operational criteria used, sources, definitions, etc. ● Youth refers to ages 15-24 but it may be relevant to study share of persons NEET in other age groups ● Youth NEET rate gives no information on its composition – prevalence of each subgroup (unemployed and outside the labour force) 14 ILO Department of Statistics

What are the next steps? 16 ILO Department of Statistics

SDG Global Monitoring Framework updated continuosly: tier reclassification → New edition of the Guidebook soon (to reflect methodologies adopted at the #ICLS20) ILO Guidebook on SDG Labour Market Indicators is a great tool, but not enough → Complemented by our other capacity building activities Related analytical products (forthcoming) → WESO (2019), HLPF 2019 reports (further analysis of trends and progress towards achieving SDGs) 17 ILO Department of Statistics
