NEETs are not looking for employment either and wouldn't take it if it was offered.

Weird how that's exactly what people are saying about the longterm unemployed where I live. For the majority of them it's either straight-up not true, or they literally cannot work for health reasons, or they are already working some but can't do more because of parenting duties, so they have to rely on unemployment payments to make ends meet.

Upon further consideration, you have a point. A self identified NEET might not, but it's also a label that is applied to people who might want to gain employment or training but don't have the opportunity.
