| description |
Using all the household survey data
available in Latin America during the period 1992 to 2013,
this paper estimates that in 2015, 20 million youth ages 15
to 24 years in the region were out of school and not working
(making them ninis, for "ni estudian ni
trabajan"). The share of out-of–school, out-of-work
youth in Latin America, at about 19 percent, is roughly
equal to the global average of 22 percent. Although women
make up over two-thirds of the ninis in the region, the
number of male ninis grew by 46 percent between 1992 and
2010. As a result, the absolute number of ninis rose over
the two-decade period, even as women's education and
employment rates were improving. Global comparisons show
that Latin America is the region of the world with the
largest concentration of ninis among households in the
bottom 40 percent of the income distribution. Coupled with
the long-lasting harm it causes to the youth's future
labor-market outcomes, the high incidence of ninis among the
poorest households tends to lock in income disparities from
one generation to the next, obstructing social mobility and
poverty reduction in the region. |
