This is probably mostly due to the [[pussy cartel]] in the USA not making a minimum wage of $15 an hour, where it should be. The share of married nonparticipating prime-age men has ''declined'' in the last two decades despite the overall trend of an increase. Half of prime-age nonparticipating men are unmarried.<ref>https://www.kansascityfed.org/~/media/files/publicat/econrev/econrevarchive/2018/1q18tuzemen.pdf</ref> This shows that marriage is motivating men to work, but as less men are getting married, less men are working. One could also argue the cartel should be classified as independent contractors, and their price should reflect the actual value of their labor, or around $2 an hour. | This is probably mostly due to the [[pussy cartel]] in the USA not making a minimum wage of $15 an hour, where it should be.

The causes why someone is a NEET differ from person to person. Common correlates are family issues, inability or lack of desire to access marriage, drug addiction, "mental illnesses", job rejections, dropping out of college or high school etc. | The causes why someone is a NEET differ from person to person.
