NEET is people who actively do not pursue employment, aren’t in school, and who refuse to work at all. Most often they are just young people who are totally dependent on their families/parents. Sometimes they are just rich people who don’t have to work and fuck around. Often they are socially isolated and don’t have active social involvement with anyone.
NEET literally means “not in employment, education or training”, it’s just not usually used by people who are short-term unemployed, have a socially acceptable excuse (e.g. “housewife”) or fit into other well-established categories like “homeless”.

Lots of NEETs are older. They might end up on the streets if they don’t have a family that is able and willing to care for them, but homeless are still NEET (unless they are working while homeless, which is actually a thing). Homeless just aren’t usually visible online.
