Share of youth not in education, employment or training, male (% of male youth population)

This indicator measures the percentage of young males, aged 15 to 24 years, who are neither engaged in education nor gainfully employed or undergoing vocational training. It reflects not only the economic landscape but also the social dynamics faced by youth in this demographic. A high percentage of males in this category may signal systemic issues such as inadequate access to quality education, limited job opportunities, or socio-economic barriers that hinder their productive engagement in society. Tracking this statistic can reveal critical insights into the effectiveness of youth policies, the overall health of the labor market, and the potential need for targeted interventions aimed at empowering young males to pursue education or vocational paths that foster economic resilience and personal development.
