SINGAPORE: Around 17,000 youth, aged 15 to 24, in Singapore were not in school, work or training in 2023. This represents 4.1 per cent of youth in the country, a higher proportion than the 3.7 per cent in 2013.

While the Republic’s figures remain below the global average of 22.4 per cent in 2020, they are still of concern, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development Eric Chua.
