Niito-Japanese social issue

I herd a word, “niito” the first time three or four ago. I was visiting Japane and asked my mom that that meant. This stands for “not in education, employment or training. So NEETO typically refers to those who under 35 years old without social obligations that we have: school or work. Most adults go to school or work in Japan. So this “Niito” has become to be a serious social issue in Japan. As the baby boomers are getting ready to retire, Japan needs reliable young people to work and be more productive. But I thought this word, Niito was unique and interesting, so I wanted to share.. In America, I think Niito is everywhere. But I don’t if American has more Niito or not. I read a few articles which conducted an interview on a young male (Niito). He was basically saying that he was overly stressed at work, and started to develop depression so resigned from the company and ever since, he has been relaxing and doing his own things. Personally I think he shouldn’t have to stay at work if he had to work 10-12 hours a day. I don’t know when this phenomena started but Niito will continue to increase its numbers as more young people can’t tolerate a strict Japanese hierarchy at work. I hope that Japanese government will take this matter seriously because our future is depended on these NIITO!
