‘Nor-no generation’: one in five young people neither study nor work in Brazil; see the data

The data was released on Wednesday by the IBGE. Finding a job is the main factor in dropping out of school, but employment is not always obtained

Of the 49 million Brazilians aged between 15 and 29 across the country, 20% do not study or work – a slightly lower percentage than in 2019, when the number reached 22.4% – but nevertheless considered too high. this is the call neither-nor generation: neither study nor work. Numbers are part of National Survey Continues in Campione on Families (PNAD) – Education2022, published this Wednesday, 7, by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

Also in this age group (from 15 to 29 years) 15.7% of young people are busy and study, 25.2% study but do not work and 39.1% are busy and do not study. When asked about the main reason for dropping out or not attending school, these young people indicated the need to work as a priority factor (40.2%), even if they are not always able to find a job. Pregnancy (22.4%) and the need to do household chores or look after other people (10.3%) are other reasons that frequently appear among women.

A PNAD – Education provides up-to-date information on education levels in the country across all age groups from five years onwards. Although the situation in the area is still far from ideal, the numbers show that, in general, it has been improving year after year.

In Brazil, in 2022, there were 9.6 million illiterates aged 15 and over, equivalent to an illiteracy rate of 5.6% – a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from 2019, which corresponds to a drop of just over 490,000 illiterates in 2022. illiteracy it is directly associated with age in the country. The older the population group, the higher the percentage of illiterates.

In 2022, there were 5.2 million illiterates aged 60 and over, which equates to an illiteracy rate of 16.0% for this age group. Gradually including the younger age groups, a decrease in illiteracy is observed: to 9.8% among people aged 40 and over, to 6.8% among those aged 25 and over and to 5.6% among population aged 15 and over. These findings indicate that younger generations have greater access to education and are literate as children.

For the first time, more than half of the population aged 25 and over (53.2%) had completed compulsory basic education, ie had completed secondary education. The work also highlights the increase in the percentage of people with completed higher education, from 17.5% in 2019 to 19.2% in 2022.

The enrollment rate of people aged 6 to 14 in 2022 reached 99.4% – equal to 26.2 million students – a high level that has remained high since 2016, very close to the universal education goal of the Program national education. The enrollment rate among 14- to 17-year-olds increased by 2.2 percentage points from 2019 to 2022, reaching 92.2%.

People between the ages of 18 and 24 are those who would ideally enter higher education if they completed basic education at the appropriate age, according to the work of the IBGE. However, this is not always the Brazilian reality. The study shows that, in this age group, 30.4% were in training in 2022 (a number similar to that recorded in 2019). Of this total, however, only 20.8% attended higher education courses. The remaining 10.3% were late, still in basic education.
