Analisis pemuda neet (not in employment, education, or training)

Abstract

One of the international issues that are of much concern is the problem of Not in Employment, Education, or Training or what is called NEET. The large number of youths in the NEET group indirectly illustrates the magnitude of the potential lost by the state, including failures in the education system, the job market, and its interconnections. This study tried to identify individual characteristics and macro conditions in which the individual lived against the probability of individuals entering the NEET group (NEET status) in the West Sulawesi region. Using Sakernas data in August of West Sulawesi Province in 2017 with logistics regression analysis and cluster analysis methods, this study revealed that youth with NEET status tend to occur in women aged 20-24 years, not finished elementary school, and have married. In addition, the results of the cluster analysis showed that the highest NEET rates in West Sulawesi were in districts with the highest expectations of school length and real income per capita compared to other groups / clusters and had the lowest open unemployment rate and poverty indicators (P0, P1, and P2) compared to other groups.
