Australia has a problem with young men. There's a growing number of disengaged young males who are considered to be in the NEET cohort - Not in Employment, Education, or Training. And this has major implications for the workforce, for skills, for relationships and for society more broadly. Demographer Simon Kuestenmacher, co-founder of the Demographics Group, talks to Sean Aylmer about the role of education, the impact on the gender pay gap, and what can be done to get more young men engaged with meaningful work or study.
