NEETs –

2011 Eurofound study estimated the economic cost of the group of NEETS in 21 EU
countries. The yearly total cost for these countries amounts to approximately €100 billion,
which corresponds to 1% of their aggregated GDP. It can be split into €94 billion in
foregone earnings and €7 billion in excess transfers.
The cost for some countries, such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia and Poland, is estimated to be 2% or more of their GDP.
