BUS: NEET

I. Issue and Reason

Our issue is NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training). We chose to focus on this issue because a lot of people who are NEET are from the same generation as us.

II. Causes

1) First, it is because of economic circumstances such as the recession. Now, there is a recession in Japan, so even if NEET people try to get a job, it is difficult to find one.

2) Secondly, young people aren’t taught to take care of themselves.

3) Finally, a third cause of this problem is inferiority complex because of their grades in schools. This turns them into hedonists because in Japanese society so much importance is put on grades.

III. Solutions

1) First, NEET can exchange information with people who have some problems and seek countermeasures. Then, they can support each other.

2) Second, the government and local public bodies should do something for them. For example, the government could support them in finding jobs.

3) Third, they should communicate with their family so they don’t feel inferior. If they have good communication with their family, they will try to improve themselves.
