NEET and unemployed · ages 25–29 · Q1 average data tables

Canada excluding territories · quarterly · % of age-group population · First-quarter average; not seasonally adjusted

January–March averages only; one Q1 observation per year. No Q2–Q4 values are supplied or filled, and these are not annual averages. Each value is a percentage of the whole age-group population. NEET means not in employment, education or training. The unemployed NEET component is not the usual unemployment rate, whose denominator is the labour force. National estimates exclude the territories. The 15–29 total overlaps the three subgroups; components and totals can differ because of whole-percentage-point rounding. Standard errors are published uncertainty, not extra observations; no significance claim is made. Standard errors in percentage points, by source Q1: 2015 Q1: 0.3; 2016 Q1: 0.3; 2017 Q1: 0.3; 2018 Q1: 0.3; 2019 Q1: 0.3; 2020 Q1: 0.3; 2021 Q1: 0.4; 2022 Q1: 0.3; 2023 Q1: 0.3; 2024 Q1: 0.3; 2025 Q1: 0.3.
