数据集介绍

构建方式

该数据集基于国际劳工组织（ILO）的ILOSTAT REST API直接获取，原始数据源自各国劳动力调查、住户收入调查等官方统计，并经ILO依据国际劳工统计学家会议定义进行统一协调处理。数据提取时聚焦于亚洲地区，依据ISO 3166-1 alpha-3国家代码进行筛选，最终构建为一个包含1342条观测记录、覆盖40个亚洲国家、时间跨度从1970年至2025年的标准化表格数据集。

特点

数据集专注于亚洲青年未参与就业、教育或培训（NEET）的规模，以千人计数，并提供按性别（总、男、女、其他）的细分维度。每条记录均附带详尽的数据溯源信息，包括数据来源、观测状态标志及注释，确保高度可追溯性。数据频率为年度，且优先采用ILO认定的最佳来源，保留了时间序列的连续性与一致性，适用于面板数据分析与跨国家比较研究。

使用方法

用户可通过Hugging Face Datasets库的`load_dataset()`函数一键加载数据，将其转换为Pandas DataFrame进行分析。支持按国家代码（如`ref_area`）筛选特定国家的时间序列，也可按指标代码（如`EIP_NEET_SEX_NB`）聚焦特定变量。进一步地，利用数据透视功能可将数据重塑为国家×年份的矩阵形式，便于进行跨国家面板回归、趋势可视化或机器学习建模任务。

背景与挑战

背景概述

该数据集由国际劳工组织（ILO）于2025年整理发布，并由Electric Sheep Asia重新打包至HuggingFace平台，聚焦于亚洲40个国家1970至2025年间青年未参与就业、教育或培训（NEET）的性别分项数据。NEET指标作为衡量劳动力利用不足的关键维度，深刻反映了青年群体在社会转型中的结构性困境，尤其在亚洲区域经济快速发展与劳动市场分化并存的背景下，该数据为理解青年失业、教育断层与社会排斥之间的复杂关联提供了量化基础。通过整合ILOSTAT数据库中的标准化调查与行政记录，该数据集为劳动经济学、发展研究与公共政策制定者提供了跨时空可比的高频观测工具。

当前挑战

该数据集面临的核心挑战在于数据质量与跨国家可比性的平衡。首先，ILOSTAT虽采用国际劳工统计学家会议的统一定义，但各国原始数据来源（如劳动力调查、行政记录）的采集方法、样本框与时间频率存在差异，可能导致同一指标在不同国家间出现结构性偏差。其次，数据集标注了“序列中断”“方法修订”等观测状态标识，表明部分国家因调查方法调整或数据源变更产生时间序列的不连续性，对长期趋势分析构成干扰。此外，NEET指标本身无法区分主动退出劳动市场与隐性失业的差异，且性别维度子类在部分国家仍存在数据缺失，这些因素共同制约了模型预测与因果推断的稳健性。

常用场景

经典使用场景

该数据集涵盖了1970年至2025年间亚洲40个国家的青少年未就业、未受教育或未接受培训（NEET）人数的观测数据，共计1,342条记录。在社会科学与劳动经济学研究中，它被广泛用于时间序列分析与面板数据建模，以探究不同性别和地区间NEET指标的长期演变趋势。研究者可通过该数据集构建回归模型或机器学习分类器，识别影响青少年劳动参与率的关键社会经济因素，为政策制定提供数据支撑。

解决学术问题

该数据集有效解决了亚洲地区青少年劳动力市场边缘化问题的量化研究瓶颈，提供了跨国家、跨性别的高质量标准化面板数据。它填补了区域间可比较的NEET统计空白，使学者能够系统分析经济增长、教育普及与就业政策对青少年群体劳动参与的影响。其意义在于推动了对青年失业隐性形态的学术关注，助力实证研究检验人力资源开发理论与劳动力市场分割假说，进而为国际劳工组织及各国制定包容性就业策略提供扎实的数据基础。

衍生相关工作

该数据集衍生出了多项经典研究工作，包括基于机器学习的NEET趋势预测模型、因果推断方法评估最低工资或培训政策对青少年就业的效应，以及多国面板数据的聚类分析以识别相似劳动力市场特征的国家群。这些研究推动了劳动经济学中非正规就业与技能错配议题的深化。同时，数据集也被用于开发可视化仪表板与交互式报告工具，提升了政策传播效率，并催生了关于亚洲青年劳动力转型的专题研讨与跨国合作项目。
