The Impact of Climate Change on the Dynamics of the NEET Category Among the Youth of Kyrgyzstan: Analysis of Factors and Prospects for Integration within the Framework of Sustainable Development (2024–2025)
Abstract
The article reveals a little-studied relationship between climate change and the growing proportion of NEET youth in Kyrgyzstan. Based on data from the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic, reports from UNDP, UNICEF, and field studies conducted from 2023–2025, it is shown that climate risks (droughts, mudslides, pasture degradation) are a significant factor in the migration of rural youth, the loss of traditional income sources, and, as a result, the growth of the NEET category. Strategies for integrating vulnerable youth into the green economy and sustainable development are proposed.
