Yes, NEET's are a sort of scapegoat for Japanese society, but from reading about the subject myself, I am definitely on their side. I think the financial crisis is likely to make many people unemployed and so hopefully alleviate blaming the NEETs and change the corporate culture in Japan.

It is an interesting story element, though; and we will just have to see where it goes.
