ECO: NEET

I. Issue and reason

The reason we chose this topic is it is something happen all over Japan now, so it is important for us.

II. Causes

In the following, we’ll show the factors that cause the explosive increase of the NEET population.

1) It’s because the parents are spoiling the children. (spoiling=treating them too softly and giving them whatever they want.)

2) It’s also because of the increase in young people who lack a sense of responsibility.

3) Another cause is more and more young people are unable to build good relationships with others.

4) Finally, it’s because of the difficult employment situation.

III. Solutions

1) One solution to this problem is to help young people to find suitable jobs. The Japanese government should provide guidance and support for young people.

2) Our second solution is to support young people emotionally. For example, an organization called Connexions was established in Britain. It helps young people to cope with their whole well-being, and not just their economic situation.

3) Our final solution is to make full-time employment more attractive in terms of the working environment.
