It's already happening. There's a large population of NEETs who have withdrawn from the work force.


Doubt they withdrew after having undesired working conditions. Many just do not actively seek jobs.


There are lots of reasons people choose not to seek jobs. A person can just look at their parents, decide they don't have the fortitude or attitude to integrate into the sarariman lifestyle, and rationally opt out.

PROTIP: one can look for remote programming work in the U.S. or Europe, earn a decent living, and still engage in a NEET lifestyle. I have a steady diet of HN, anime, Perl, and reclusiveness and it works great for me.


I drive Uber because I don't want to work 40 hour weeks.


"A NEET or neet is a young person who is 'Not in Education, Employment, or Training'."
