The significant proportion of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) is an important phenomenon and concern for public policy. Using official databases of national representation, and through a descriptive and trend analysis, this article characterizes the NEETs in Chile in demographic and sociocultural terms, and outlines the reasons that lead to the decision to marginalize themselves of the educational and work space. Together with a clear gender footprint, low schooling, belonging to vulnerable groups and paternity / maternity conditions are distinctive attributes. The reasons for being a NEET present marked gender differences, with the care of others and domestic work prevailing among women. This means to improve estimation metrics to make visible the economic contribution of young women to the home.
