Interesting that there are marked male/female differences in Turkey, Colombia, and Mexico – followed up by less differences on the high end by Brazil, Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, and then on the lower end by Slovak Republic, Russia, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic.
Weirdly enough you could say things are very out of kilter in the Czech Republic because even though the NEET rate for guys is a chart-topping 5% the rate for gals is 15%, triple the amount! (Same kind of goes for Estonia).
It's a fascinating socioeconomic demographic data-set.
By all accounts the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, or Switzerland is the place to be if you're young … (And we're all young once, right!?)
As someone living in Mexico, it is not at all a surprise to me. Stay at home mom is incredibly common here. Also, I doubt the stats capture the cash based employment economy that many women are in here.
We have a maid that cleans 3x per week. We pay her in cash at the end of each day. She has a full schedule and works six days per week. I highly doubt she would show up in the statistics as employed.
