Because young people not in education or employment (NEET) have relatively low levels of extroversion, friendliness, sincerity, and openness compared to other young people of a similar age, they somewhat lack the propensities required to form and maintain a social relationship. 
It is found that the average TV viewing time of NEET is 2.20 hours ((non-NEET young people, 1.59 hours) per day and the average time spent asleep is 7.48 hours (as compared to 6.69 hours for non-NEET), both of which are relatively long compared to their counterpart. The results also show an average number of books read per year of 3.88 (as compared to 6.99 books) and an average weekly exercise time of 2.05 hours (as compared to 2.84 hours), which indicates that only a small amount of time is spent on self-improvement. 
The percentage of NEET (non-NEET young people) who participate in club activities is 3.1% (12.5%); the percentage for volunteer activities is 1.0% (9.1%); the turnout in the 19th general election was 34.0% (54.2%); and the percentage for SNS use is 38.1% (60.0%). The figures indicate that NEET participation in society is lower. 
The percentage of NEET who feel happy is 73.2% compared to 82.8% of non-NEET young people. Also, NEET scored 6.3 (on a 10-point scale) and non-NEET young people scored 6.8 when assessing happiness levels, which shows that NEET has lower levels of happiness.
