Abstract

NEET refers to young people who are not in employment, education or training. It can occur in a variety of situations and requires attention, especially if it tends to persist over time. Indeed, individuals who leave education and enter the labor market looking for a job are classified as NEET. While in the majority of cases they tend to move into employment status within a short period of time, in others they remain in this status for longer, with negative consequences for their future career or never enter the labor market. Although the scarring effect of longer spells outside the labor market (for unemployment or inactivity) is well known in the economic literature, empirical evidence on this topic are very limited due to the lack of adequate data needed for this analysis.
