Abstract

This chapter includes an econometric analysis of the factors that influence youth to be not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The data used and the sampling strategy employed are described. The dependent, independent and instrument variables used in the model are defined. The selection bias corrected Probit model methodology is explained. Following this, the results from the model estimation are analysed. Additionally, a preliminary classification and regression tree (CART) analysis of youth NEET in Bangladesh is also conducted.

    The inverse Mills ratio is the ratio of the standard normal probability distribution function of the selection equation to the standard normal cumulative distribution function of the selection equation. (Heckman, 1979).
