In Cyprus, the percentage of young people aged 15-29 who are neither working nor in education is 12.9%, slightly above the EU average. These young individuals, known as NEET, often rely on allowances, which burden the finances of EU member states. The EU aims to reduce this percentage to below 9% by 2030. Statistics indicate significant differences among EU countries regarding youth employment.
