Some NEETs do not seek jobs and simply want to enjoy the comfort at home, others seek jobs but are unable to work. NEETs who suffer from severe anxiety or similar mental illnesses are close to becoming a [[Hikikomori]]. High-functioning autism diagnoses are also heavily correlated with NEETdom.

The increase of the welfare state plays almost no role in employment nonparticipation among prime-age men in the USA. A tripling in usage of SSDI in America only accounts for a 0.5% drop in labor force participation among prime-age men. This could be due to barriers to access of welfare unique to prime-age men. Nearly half of labor force nonparticipating prime-age men taking pain meds, most being prescribed. Nonparticipation is correlated with automation and offshoring of 'middle-skill' (construction, maintenance etc) jobs, with a 10.7 decrease in middle-skill employment among Americans. Wages of employed men without a college degree have also decreased relative to the wages of men with college degrees (in terms of ratio).<ref>https://www.kansascityfed.org/~/media/files/publicat/econrev/econrevarchive/2018/1q18tuzemen.pdf</ref> | The increase of the welfare state plays almost no role in employment nonparticipation among prime-age men in the USA.
