He says the word NEET suggests young people do not want to work and instead portrays them as "absent".
It comes after a new report published this week has found that the number of 16 to 24-year-olds in that bracket has now increased to more than a million in the UK.
Channel 4 News led a discussion on the issue with Rushid, 24-year-old graduate Oscar Brown, University of Manchester Vice Chancellor Duncan Ivison and Kate Nicholls, CEO of UKHospitality.
