NEET - not in employment, education or training. So no one else has to figure out what the acronym of the day is.

It's a pretty old term. It's been kicking around the Japanese culture scene for years, maybe even decades. Or that might just be exposing my bias, as that's how I encountered it.

Just say unemployed or jobless. No need to get technical in the headline

It feels weird to defend a buzzword but…

It’s more specific and inclusive than either of those words and is clearly the product of a larger societal conversation, meaning it indicates a problem worth considering that shouldn’t be oversimplified just to avoid burdening readers with a new term.
