Their situation is sharpen low approval the socioeconomic level
México. - The lack of educational opportunities, occupational and social has made of the youths that they do not study neither work (ninis) "beings without social site, without social coordinates to where to go ", asserted specialists in youth and teaching studies. This condition assured him, "nothing has to do with social stigmas or to minimize domestic labors. They are youths to those which the State has not given future".

Jose Luis Perez Islas, coordinator of the investigation Seminar in Youth of the UNAM, he emphasized, that "would have to be alarming for any authority that of 6.1 million of women of less than 29 years that they do not study neither work, about 50 percent are found in extreme poverty conditions. Their only source of subsistence is the family". These condition of nini "is returned acute" low approval the socioeconomic level. The National survey of the Youth 2005, indicated he, reveals that of 7.4 million of youths from among 12 and 29 years old that they do not study neither work - 22.1 percent of the national population in that age range -, only 9.1 percent have socioeconomic level high medium/high , 15.1 middle, 25.1 middle/under, 29.7 under, and 32.2 very under.

At least a third of who do not study neither work, he explains, live in conditions "practically of surviving. To this is added that the majority are youth women that they are being remaining in house not because they want, but because have been excluded of the educational and occupational opportunities". Emphasized that, according to their scholarship, seven of each 10 women that they do not study neither work concluded the basic teaching. Only 10.6 percent ended their baccalaureate and 5.4 percent the licentiate.

In contrast, 61.3 percent of those males have studies of primary and secondary, 13.6 graduate of the middle education superior and 13.7 ended their university career. For the most part, it indicated, the calls ninis they have occupational experience, since 54.2 percent of men have worked as worker and 59.2 of women have had employment in the services sector. "Is evident that they are not youths that wish be remained in house. They have sought work and at least 26.3 percent of males and 11.5 of women seek where employer is.

Of 73.4 million of youths that they do not study neither work, he adds, to 37.6 percent them would like to follow in the school, 38.4 percent would prefer to work and at least 16.9 have thought in migrating toward The States. Manuel Gil Anton, specialist of the Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAM), in sociology of the education superior, underlined: "what would have to try to solving is why 7.4 million of youths are not where they would have to just do it, what is mean, in the school. We can not fall in the mistake of considering that the figures are only numbers, they are life histories."

We know that the population of 18 to 23 years is of 10 million of persons, but and that group 2.2 million study only. "Thus, the question is where are 7.8 million that they would have to attend to the university classrooms." Without possibilities of education neither employment, he noted, the youths remain outside of the institutional recognition spaces, what is mean, "they are in the street or in house. Without social coordinates. That implies that they would not are developing their talent neither their abilities". He considered that what is serious of the fact that 6.4 million of women of 12 to 29 years only accomplish labors of the household" is not the type of activity what would have to concern, but probably our society not them has given other option. The problem is not where are and what make, but to verify if it is resulted of a free election or the crystallization of the destination of the poors youth."

SEP: INEGI; 285 thousand youths do not study neither work
The executive of the SEP, Alonso Lujambio, assured that the data of the INEGI made known by the federal government, , in those which is reported a decrease in the youths figure that they do not study neither work (ninis) in the country of 7.5 million to only 285 thousand, "are exact". He considered that the statistics should revaluate the domestic work of thousands of youth women that only are devoted to that activity. "Is dreadfully unjust that are not they value in their social dimension labors that accomplish the women in house", expressed Lujambio.

Beyond labels, the phenomenon of the youths that they do not study neither work demand a deep vision; that it implicates the exits proposal, and not only to remain us in the identification of their problematic. The society perceives to the "ninis" as a negative factor and feeder of the cartels of drug-traffickers, of the abductor gangs, of women dealers, of squadrons of the death migrants and of other criminal groups.
