A '''NEET''' is someone who is '''N'''ot in '''E'''ducation, '''E'''mployment, or '''T'''raining. The acronym ''NEET'' originated in the United Kingdom in 1999 (as a more 'politically correct' term, to replace the previous designation of 'status zero') and has spread to other countries since then, including the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. | A '''NEET''' is someone who is '''N'''ot in '''E'''ducation, '''E'''mployment, or '''T'''raining.

The share of married, prime-age men not participating in the labor market has ''declined'' in the last two decades. However there is an overall increase in labor nonparticipation among unmarried, prime-age men.

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 suggests 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.

As less men are getting married due to female hypergamy from women entering the workforce, less men are motivated to 'do better than' women, creating something of a cycle. | |||
Incel Wiki strongly believes that women should can be paid for the 'emotional labor of having sex with men'. We believe NEETdom can be solved by making the [[pussy cartel]] in the USA independent contractors with a wage of 1 satoshi an hour, where it should be. One could also argue the cartel should be legally prosecuted for crimes against humanity and men should not have to pay women in resources or job security at all. | |||
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.
