Case study

Is being "NEET" a sufficient explanation on its own?

The problem

The category "neither in education nor in employment" can collect millions of different life stories under a single concept.

Our approach

In the ILO / İŞKUR NEET PRO study, 4,800 young people were examined in terms of their job search experience, employment expectations, detachment from education, social vulnerability and regional differences.

Analytical perspective

The aim was not to produce a NEET rate but to build more detailed profiles of why young people remain outside education and employment.

What it taught us

The same statistical category can contain different causes. Good research makes those differences visible.
