新西兰在误导性失业统计数据的情况下,就青年义务兵役制问题进行辩论。 New Zealand debates compulsory military service for youth, amid misleading unemployment statistics.

新西兰媒体引发了一场关于重新实行义务兵役制以解决青年失业问题的辩论,其中一些媒体使用了误导性的统计数据。 New Zealand media has sparked a debate on reintroducing compulsory military service to tackle youth unemployment, with some using misleading statistics. 尽管15-19岁的人中只有13.2%被归类为“NEET”(不是在就业、教育或培训方面),但媒体数字却引用高得多的比率来宣传这项提议。 Despite only 13.2% of 15-19 year-olds being classified as "NEET" (not in employment, education, or training), media figures have cited much higher rates to advocate the proposal. 支持者认为它可以提供纪律和技能,而批评者则认为它过于简化了就业问题,可能使许多仍在接受教育或培训的年轻人定性不正确。 Supporters argue it could offer discipline and skills, while critics contend it oversimplifies the employment issue and may mischaracterize many young people still in education or training.
