abstract: 'Youth unemployment is a contentious subject in Greenland, and the

  Greenlandic government is particularly concerned with reducing the

  number of young Greenlanders who are not in employment or education.

  Using survey data from the Greenlandic Labour Force Survey (LFS), we

  turn our attention to NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training)

  in Greenland and focus on young people aged 17-29. First, we take an

  international outlook to explore whether the NEET challenge is greater

  in Greenland than in other selected countries. Then, we explore how

  NEETs differ from their young counterparts in employment or in

  education. Furthermore, we compare NEETS to the older group who are also

  not in employment to explore potential differences between groups. We

  discuss educational opportunities in Greenland, geographic mobility, and

  poor health as significant barriers for labour market and educational

  participation. The chapter ends by outlining and discussing Greenlandic

  policy initiatives to increase employment and participation in

  education.'
