On the one hand, young people's disinterest in looking for work is acting as a drag on industry. On the other, young people who persist in being NEETs are giving new meaning to the "three no's" --no marriage, no children, and no support for their own parents--and are thereby weakening the underpinnings of both family and society.
「尼特」當道，一方面，年輕人陷入了低迷的「就業冰河期」，對國家產業的新陳代謝活力和競爭力造成拖累；另一方面，「尼特」一路持續下去的結果，往往會惡化成另一種「三不」──不結婚、不生育子女、不供養父母；原本屬社會和家庭中流砥柱的一代，就此弱化。
