Patterns of School‐to‐Work‐Transition Societies With High Rates of Neets
INTRODUCTION: In the context of increasing interest across Europe with youth not in employment education or training (NEET), the article explores and depicts the policy measures for stimulating school-to-work transition (SWT) and the work integration of youth in four EU countries. METHODS: We use a database of NEET-related policies adopted between 1990 and 2022 in seven EU countries. We assess existing regulations in Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, an…
Unveiling the Complexity of Italian Neet Status through Latent Class Analysis
This study delves into the complex issue of NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) status in Italy, using Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to identify distinct profiles within this heterogeneous group. The research, based on a survey of 970 young Italian NEETs, goes beyond broad categorizations to explore the socio-demographic, economic, and motivational factors that contribute to their situations. Six distinct classes of NEETs were identifi…
The Role of Resilience in Fostering Late Adolescents’ Meaning-Making Process
The study presents an application of Latent Profile Analysis to sustain the existence of different profiles of meaning-making (i.e., the process of searching and finding meaning in life) within the late adolescent’s population, and to investigate the role of resilience in predicting profiles’ belonginess. 943 Italian senior high-school students (52% females) were clustered into two adaptive profiles, highly-engaged (high presence, average search)…
Strategies for Engaging and Outreaching Neets in Italy
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 h…
Challenges for Formal Organizations Engaging Volunteers During Regular and Crisis Times According to Polish and Italian Volunteer Coordinators
The recent crises in Europe impacted the volunteering patterns within formal organizations that provide support in regular and crisis times. In our paper, we investigated how volunteer coordinators from formal entities (public/governmental and non-governmental) perceive (1) the patterns of volunteering engagement (long-term versus episodic) in regular and crisis times, (2) the processes of retaining volunteers during crises; (3) the trust of the …
Self-Determined Intention to Vote and the Mediating Role of Politicized Identification
This study tested the Politicized Identification Model of Intention to Vote as an integrated model of political participation and self-determination theory to understand what motivates young people to vote and inform policy and communication efforts. The results of path analyses on survey data from a representative sample of 1,960 young Italians (age range, 20–35 years) revealed that participative efficacy positively and negatively predicted inte…
Public Employment Services and Strategic Action towards Rural Neets in Mediterranean Europe
The NEET phenomenon in southern Europe is particularly alarming. Most studies have focused on analysing the socio-demographic characteristics of NEET and policies directed towards them, but more research is needed regarding the psychological aspects that underlie this condition. This paper, grounded in the bioecological model, aims to analyse the psychological dimensions regarding the functioning of Public Employment Services (PESs) in three coun…
Coming together to awaken our democracy’
By integrating the insights from social identity research on collective action, this article examines the social‐psychological mechanisms behind the emergence of the 2019–20 ‘ Chile despertó ’ social movement, a major Latin American revolt against the government's price hikes. Using survey data collected among Chilean activists ( N = 549) and non‐activists (i.e., members of broader society, N = 234), we analyse two major explanatory collective ac…
Using Evidence in Policies Addressing Rural Neets
Using the policy narrative framework, this article examines the pathways through which the development of policies (related to rural/small towns young NEETs in various EU countries) are based on evidence. To do this, we consider the Youth Guarantee (YG), an EU program (2014-2020) developed in several member countries with the aim of socioprofessional inclusion of NEETs (young people aged 15-24 that are not in employment, education, or training). …
Soft Skills and Psychological Well-being
Soft skills retain a certain importance in fully understanding the NEET phenomenon: however, only few researchers have focused on them specifically. The aim of this work is two-fold: a) to detect the differences in terms of soft skills and psychological well-being between urban and rural NEETs; and b) to evaluate which of the soft skills analysed may be predictors of psychological well-being. A sample of young 6998 18−34 years old representative …
