Brazil’s NEET Generation: How Idle Youth Are Eating Away the Economy Like Termites: The Hidden Crisis of Disengaged Youth—And How to Stop It Before It’s Too Late

 A hard-hitting opener comparing NEETs to termites—silent, unnoticed, but destructive over time. Highlight key stats (e.g., “X million Brazilians aged 15–29 are neither studying nor working”) and the long-term risks to GDP, social stability, and public finances.

They are invisible—yet everywhere. They don’t protest in the streets or make headlines, but their idleness is quietly strangling Brazil’s economy. They are the NEETs: Not in Education, Employment, or Training. And like termites gnawing at the foundations of a house, their disengagement is weakening the very structure of the nation.

This isn’t just about unemployment. It’s about a lost generation—millions of young Brazilians (ages 15–29) who have slipped through the cracks of a broken system. Some lack skills; others lack hope. Many are trapped in a cycle of dependency, while others chase illusions of easy money as influencers or gamblers. But the result is the same: a demographic time bomb.
