Colombia NEET youth hits 2.29M, 20% of 15-28 cohort

Colombia's DANE reports 2.29 million 'ninis' (not in education, employment, or training) aged 15-28 for May-July, representing 20% of that cohort, with women disproportionately affected (1.57M vs 723K men). This signals persistent labor-market weakness and human-capital erosion, which could weigh on Colombia's long-term growth potential and social stability.
