“…The odds ratio reveals that females have a 4.285 times greater probability of becoming NEET than males (as the reference category). This finding aligns with prior research, which indicates a higher likelihood of females becoming NEET and suggests the presence of gender discrimination in the labor market (Lüküslü & Çelik, 2022;Odoardi et al, 2022;Quintano et al, 2018;Ralston et al, 2022).…”

This study aims to analyze: 1) the socioeconomic characteristics and NEET (Not in employment, education, or training) status of young individuals in Jambi Province; 2) the determinants influencing the NEET status of young people in Jambi Province. The data utilized in this study is derived from a survey conducted in four sample villages within Jambi Province, consisting of 200 young participants. Descriptive statistical tools, single-frequency and cross-frequency tables, and binary logit regression are employed for analysis. The findings of the study reveal that: 1) NEET youth, when compared to non-NEET youth, tend to be older, have a higher proportion of females, possess higher education levels, are more likely to be married, are predominantly non-migrants, and have fewer siblings or step-siblings; 2) The parents of NEET youth, in comparison to non-NEET youth, generally have higher incomes and predominantly belong to non-Malay ethnicities in Jambi. 3) Factors significantly impacting the categorization of youth as NEET include gender, education, marital status, and parental income.

“…The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted societies worldwide, with Italy being one of the hardest-hit countries (Ellena, Aresi, et al, 2021). Among the vulnerable groups affected by the crisis are NEETs: young individuals who are neither working nor pursuing further education (Odoardi et al, 2022).…”

Outreaching and engaging young people who are not in education, employment, or training (i.e., NEETs) represents a significant challenge for public policies. They often belong to marginalized and disadvantaged categories and find themselves isolated with low levels of trust in the future, in their capacities of finding a job, and, above all, in institutions. Much research has emphasized how insufficient and unsuitable the strategies used so far have proved to be. However, there is a lack of clear mapping in the literature of what approaches have been suggested and addressed by the different guidelines. This study explores the strategies that a specific active labour policy uses to intercept and engage vulnerable youth and NEETs. This research employed a qualitative methodology that centres on the examination of official documents of the regional plans for the guaranteed employability of workers (Garanzia di Occupabilità dei Lavoratori). To conduct the analysis, the MAXQDA software package was utilized, and a content document analysis was implemented. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: capillarity of services, digitalization, and communication, each with its respective sub-themes. These themes provide valuable insights into the current strategies employed to engage vulnerable NEET youth, as well as other demographic categories, highlighting the potential strengths and weaknesses of these policies. The study holds the potential to contribute significantly to the development of more targeted and sustainable public policies, aiming to address the challenges faced by vulnerable NEET youth in Italy.

IntroductionResearch on heterogeneous pathways in school‐to‐work transitions (SWT), particularly longitudinal research, has been limited, as have empirical studies examining effective interventions for facilitating multiple SWT pathways among non‐engaged youth (NEY), who are generally at risk of being not in education, employment, or training (NEET).MethodsTo develop a typology of SWT pathways, we conducted sequence analysis with longitudinal data from a sample of 630 NEY aged 14–29 (M = 19.78; 63.65% males) in Hong Kong during a 22‐month period beginning in September 2020. We also performed multinomial logistic regressions to assess the impact of career and life development (CLD) interventions on SWT outcomes.ResultsOur analysis yielded a fivefold typology of SWT pathways: the Employment/Entrepreneurship cluster (31.27%), the Vocational Education and Training cluster (13.49%), the Generic Education cluster (16.83%), the Serious Leisure Development cluster (15.24%), and the long‐term NEET cluster (23.17%). NEY in the intervention group receiving CLD services, inspired by the expanded notion of work (ENOW) and youth development and intervention framework (YDIF), demonstrated significantly higher likelihoods of being in the Employment/Entrepreneurship (OR = 34.5, 95% CI [10.53, 105.08]), Generic Education (OR = 3.74, 95% CI [1.81, 7.74]), Vocational Education and Training (OR = 1.55, 95% CI [1.05, 6.26]), and Serious Leisure Development (OR = 1.77, 95% CI [1.04, 4.46]) clusters than the long‐term NEET cluster.ConclusionsOur findings highlight the dynamic, heterogeneous nature of NEY's CLD journeys, including that CLD interventions based on ENOW–YDIF have had a beneficial effect on NEY's multiple SWT pathways.
