Sustainable Development Goals 4, 8 and 10
WWP TARGET:
Reduce (particularly for Māori and Pasifika) the number of young people (aged 15-24) in the Waikato who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) to less than 5% by 2030.
ACHIEVING OUR TARGET
MEANS THAT:
All our young people are engaged and productive, they are learning or earning a livelihood, their mana is enhanced, and they are on a positive pathway to have many life options. Our employers can find motivated staff with the knowledge and skill they need to get started, and the means to learn more.
Due to COVID-19, the proportion of the world’s youth not in education, employment or training (NEET) is now at its highest level since 2005. COVID-19 and now disruptions caused by the Ukraine War are affecting youth development worldwide. Many education measures are not consistently reported across different jurisdictions and timeframes.

OECD income inequality in 2022, measured by the Gini
coefficient
The skill and qualification level of our adult population is strong, reflecting historically high levels of school achievement and immigration. There is a big gap between the highest-achieving and lowest-achieving students by OECD standards.

15-24 yr-olds that are not in Education, Employment or Training(2013 = 13.5%)
measured by the
Gini coefficient
The Waikato region tends to perform slightly lower on many education and employment measures than the New Zealand average.
This may reflect different socio-economic conditions, as is highlighted by the slightly higher NEET and Gini
co-efficient for the region.
