The State of Global Education: 18 Months into the Pandemic
Poland, Portugal and Slovenia, further education
helped limit the increase in the share of NEETs. For
instance, in Portugal, the share of young adults that
are NEET increased by less than 2 percentage points
between 2019 and 2020, while the increase in young
adults in education increased by 4 percentage points,
from 54% in 2019 to 58% in 2020. Similarly, in France,
the share of NEETs remained stable between 2019
and 2020, but the share of young adults in education
increased by 2 percentage points, from 54% to 56%
over this period.
Governments across the world reacted quickly to the
economic challenges that the youth are facing. For
example, the European Commission has launched the
“Youth Employment Support: A bridge to jobs for the
next generation (European Commission, 2020
[26]
) .
Depending on the speed of the economic recovery,
the education-to-work transition may be smoother in
the future.
