Abstract: Society wellbeing is one the main goals of economic development. During the XX century, societies succeeded increasing their standard of living and the general welfare. But, in 2008, barely begun the XXI century, the strongest economic crisis ever known, destroyed much of the social achievements.

“…This method analyses all the interactions between the latent variables and shows the sign of the relationships between them as well as their relative importance. This is an appropriate method for analysing social issues and it has been applied widely in academic literature, particularly in recent times [46][47][48][49]. To test hypotheses H10 and H11, we conducted a t-test for testing equal means, which is an adequate method of proving differences supported by statistics, instead of just comparing by checking the values of means and standard deviation and it is particularly useful in the field of economics [50,51].…”

“…As a result of the 2008 economic crisis, in 2012 the Spanish government passed a royal decree (16/2012) that, in a certain way, rolled back the universal model, including in it characteristics of a Bismarckian, social security regime [43,52,53]. The system remained universal for emergencies; pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care; people under age 18; and those with severe disabilities.…”

“…However, this situation in the labor market was similar to what happened in other areas of the economy. Specifically, the general environment, due to the policies adopted in those countries to deal with the economic situation, which have been accompanied by restrictions on public spending on fundamental aspects, such as health [23] and education [24]. As a result, some social groups, like today's youth, who were in their childhood or adolescence at the time of application of these policies and, therefore, have been affected by them, are at risk of being part of the NEETs group.…”

“…The European Union considers youth to be those aged between 15-24 years, but for analyzing NEETs, EUROSTAT provide data for those aged from 15 to 29 years. In this paper, we take all these range of age [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], due to the relevance for the last stretch of ages. The economic environment latent variable (ξ 1 ) was constructed with the aim of collecting information about different spheres of the economy: One related to the general economic position of the country, the other to consumers' purchasing capability and another about the public policies that exist to support citizens.…”
