Abstract: The neets refers to young people between 15 and 24 who are neither in employment nor in education or training. Individual factors, such as family income and education, could influence the appearence of the neets. This article analyzes the characteristics of the Ecuadorian neets and determines the factors that increase the probability that a young person is neither in employment nor in education or training. For this purpose, Logit models based on the national Living Conditions Survey (2014) are estimated. The results suggest that young people from low-income families, women, urban youth and those belonging to ethnic minorities are more likely to become a neet young.
