    I believe it refers to current status, so it’s “Not in Education, Employment or Training”. Doesn’t mean the person cannot have a degree or diploma or at least finished school.

      Correct, you can have a PhD and be a NEET. What matters is that you are currently unemployed, and not studying/training either.

        I finish my current job in December and my new job doesn’t start until March, for some reason. So I’m going to be Neet for that time. Or does the fact that I have a job, it just hasn’t started yet, preclude me
