# Study Reveals High Neet Rates Among Migrants

September 25, 2026 at 03:09 PM

> New research shows 27.3% of foreign-born youth in Austria are not in education or work, highlighting significant integration challenges.

A study by the **Institute for Advanced Studies** for the **Austrian Integration Fund** reveals significant disparities among Neets—youth not in education, employment, or training. In 2021, 27.3% of foreign-born young adults in **Austria** held this status.

Author **Hermann Kuschej** and **Cornelia Marks** of the ÖIF note that 61% of Neets remained outside the system two years later. Notably, 75% of first-generation migrant women stayed Neets, while 44% of those without a migration background returned to the system.

The data highlights specific demographic challenges, showing 33.2% of young Turkish women and 21.5% of Turkish men as Neets. While gender gaps were smaller among Syrian and Afghan youth, the findings underscore long-term integration hurdles for many groups.
