Germany is facing a growing problem with young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEETs). The number of NEETs has increased by one million in the last nine years, and currently stands at three million. This is a serious problem for a high-performing country whose demographics form an inverted pyramid and is currently experiencing a shortage of millions of specialists. The German government is concerned that the problem is growing. In the last nine years alone, the number of such unqualified young people has increased by one million. While the baby boomers close out the professional chapter of their lives, attention has turned to the NEETs, who themselves have few possibilities when it comes to work.
