It means immigration helps young people. Just look at the improvement in Canada after 2020

Hopefully the rates are just converging on an equilibrium where the odds of you being a NEET are the same whether you are a male or female. And that total rate remains relatively stable over since the 80’s.
I really don’t believe things like incel behavior are wide enough spread to affect the rates so dramatically like this. You could maybe argue the tech market imploding has specifically hurt young men, but that all happened in the last 3 years and we see the rates rising since the 80’s.

The real world is hard and you grind and barely matter.
Fuck that shit.
Lack of community and meaning makes that rough for men to deal with.

ShoeOnHead actually talked about this. Stereotypically male jobs have largely left economically developed countries while service and healthcare jobs (female coded) have increased. What girls had for STEM jobs boys need for things like nursing and administration services.

Probably because it’s so hard to get a job. You send in hundreds of applications and get rejected each and every time. It’s demoralizing. I can understand why some guys just give up.
