Abstract	This fact sheet explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the NEET (not in employment, education or training) indicator for young Canadians aged 15 to 29 during the first two months of the pandemic. Findings include the following: (1) in March and April 2020, NEET rates for young Canadians increased to unprecedented levels. These increases were comparable between men and women and they were similar among the provinces; (2) among Canadians aged 15 to 19, the increase in NEET rates in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when most of the school closures took place, was primarily the result of youth who reported that they were not attending school. It is likely that these closures, as well as the change in the way in which education was delivered, are the reasons why youth reported not attending school. However, as of May 2020, Canadian youth plan to continue their studies in fall 2020, despite the pandemic; (3) among Canadians aged 20 to 24 and 25 to 29, the increase in NEET rates in the first two months of the pandemic was mostly because of a decrease in employment. When highest level of education attained was examined, youth aged 25 to 29 with a trades diploma showed the largest increase in NEET rates; and (4) during the early months of the pandemic, certain groups typically at higher risk for being NEET (young women with children, immigrant youth and off-reserve Indigenous youth) did not experience greater increases in their NEET rates than the overall population.
