“…-the vocational setting in which the mobility is embedded (mobility type), -the mobility-framing institutional structures, -the overall biographical embeddedness. However, aside from these specifics, our analysis underlines substantial cross-field commonalities in MRMA, which are often rooted in a desire to reduce insecurity, anxiety and effort (Reiter & Schlimbach, 2015). These modes include intensive use of networks and opportunity structures.…”

“…Moreover, short-term group mobilities which are typical for German VET mobility are appreciated as a "convenient" way to go abroad, involving low effort, risk and insecurities (Reiter & Schlimbach, 2015). Young people readily and spontaneously accept invitations to take part in the programme, under the condition of guidance.…”

The geographical mobility of young Europeans takes place within institutional realms that frame young people´s educational and vocational situations. These institutional framings provide unequal preconditions for going abroad. Starting from an action-oriented theoretical approach, the aim of this work was to explore young people´s international moves within different mobility settings. Based on 52 qualitative interviews with mobile youth from three mobility fields in three countries (students from Luxembourg, employees in Norway and Luxembourg and apprentices from Germany), the dynamic concept of context-sensitive mobility-related modes of action (MRMA) was developed. The applied analytic framework reflects the fact that individual perceptions and actions relating to going abroad differ greatly according to the young people’s specific current educational/vocational situations. Moreover, the comparative approach sheds light on different dimensions of inequality caused by these framing systems.

“…Instead, drivers related to personal development featured most prominently in the qualitative data, including curiosity for foreign cultures and people, as well as the idea of gaining new experiences, becoming independent and growing up. Aside from this, we discovered another underlying driving force that was prominent among youth living in the prosperous economic utiliser countries and which can be defined under the concept of convenience (Reiter & Schlimbach, 2015). Many of the young simply took the opportunity to become mobile, e.g.…”

European youth mobility seems to be fostering Europe's unequal pace of integration, which sees certain countries benefit at the expense of others (Ohmacht et al., 2009;van Mol & Timmerman, 2014). Using a comparative approach, the paper aims to relate a macro-level country-typology focussing on human capital with individual mobility-motivations on the micro-level. Our methodological approach is based on a secondary macro-data analysis and analyses of mobility-motivations of young people (micro-data) deriving from qualitative (N=152) and quantitative data (N=5,499) collected in six European countries. In order to examine correspondence between macro-conditions and micro-aspects, we relate information on mobilitymotivations to the country-typology by allocating mobile youth to the respective types of their home country. The results show that the country-types compose different opportunity structures, which are reflected in individual motivations. Accordingly, different country-types can be seen as an example of the heterogeneity and inequality of European social and territorial mobility frames.

“…Various NEET status narratives have been presented to depict different experiences. These narratives relate to the concepts of vocational status, selfactualisation, meaningful activity, convenience, money, leisure and life problems (Reiter and Schlimbach 2015). Experiences of fractured transitions were associated with repeated exclusion from school before the age of 16 (Finlay et al 2010).…”

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods and young people not in education, employment or training at the ages of 18 to 19 in England

There is a growing interest among researchers in the impact of locality on young people who are inactive and not engaged in education, employment or training (NEETs). Previous research on this, however, is rather limited and does not account for a number of characteristics that mediate the effects of disadvantaged neighbourhoods on transition outcomes. This study investigates the effects of neighbourhood context on young people who experience NEET status at the ages 18 to 19 in one cohort born in 1989/90 in the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England-LSYPE. The analyses control for a wide range of factors which may affect NEET status. Drawing on previous sociological theories, we develop a theoretical framework that specifies four levels of influence on young people's development: individual, family, school and peer group characteristics. Potential pathways between neighbourhood context and individual outcomes are explored using a logistic regression model. We demonstrate that there is a higher probability for young people who live in high crime areas to become NEETs in comparison to those who live in less-deprived areas.
