NEETs

This week our writing class' teacher gave us a handout about NEET for our paragraph essay assignment. Through reading this, I think about NEETs. NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) people are who do not work, study in any schools and participate to any job-training. There are no firm definition, sometimes it includes the university students who don't attend to classes at all or "housekeeping-helpers"(in Japanese "Kaji-Minarai") who do nothing in their home. Recently this NEETs are increasing suddenly, excessively. According to Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, there are more than 520,000 of NEETs in 3 years ago. We sometimes joke on those NEETs, but it is not just laughing problem. Its social problem is that they don't contribute to the society. They don't earn moey. So working people may have to establish some support system for NEETs, putting efforts and money they earned. To make matters worse, our aging society will need much more workers and tax. However NEETs won't be able to help both necessities. I don't want to just criticize NEETs. That never generates any resolution. To be NEETs is easy in this society. Also To neglect NEETs is easy, too. But we know that NEETs bringing about big problems soon. What should we do to reduce, and help NEETs? I would like to hear you!
