Fortunately, only a small number remain out of school and out of work for a long period. The most common situation is to leave one school and transfer to another or to leave one job and change to another--so-called "frictional unemployment" (or "frictional non-attendance at school").
好在長期失學並失業的人究竟只佔極少數，最常見的還是從一個學校中輟、轉到另一個學校，或是從一個工作辭職、轉到另一個工作的空檔期所謂的「摩擦性失業（失學）」。
