The OECD has published its 8th edition of Society at a Glance, a biennial overview of social indicators. The overview provides a rich variety of data and graphs on general items like employment, (household) income, migration and demography. Part 5 of the report is dedicated to equity indicators (income inequality, poverty, living on benefits, social spending and recipients of out-of-work benefits). Special attention is given to the position of youngsters on the labour market, with 15% of the youth population being neither in employment, education nor training in 2015, about 40 million young people. Young people with no more than lower-secondary education account for over 30% of this group.
