Abstract
Presentation. Slides are on Youth unemployment and related issues. The focus is on the emerging concept of NEETs (Young People Not in Employment, Education and Training) which identifies a high risk target group: in fact, NEETs are those young people who are in a status of not-accumulating Human Capital through formal channels and thus risking social and labour exclusion. Moreover, NEET status may lead to a wide range of negative social conditions, such as disaffection, isolation, insecure and underpaid employment, crime, and mental and physical health problems. These outcomes each have a cost attached to them and therefore being NEET is not just a problem for the individual but also for societies and economies as a whole. The presentation concludes providing indications on how to set out policies allowing effective solutions to NEETs issues. 29/11/2012
