Interventions and programs for rural NEETs: What’s new out there? (short version)

The Youth Guarantee is the flagship policy framework aiming at reducing the share of NEETs in the European Union. This EU initiative has recently been relaunched and an analysis shows that the program has contributed to reduce the number of young people not in employment, nor in education and training by about about 3 percent, between 2011 and 2019. However, the results show contrasts between North and South and East and West countries, rural and urban areas and different NEETs profiles. In 2021, Rural NEET Youth Network published a special issue entitled "Strategies, policies, programs and projects for rural NEETs”, and Claudia Petrescu and Stefan Bojnec, two researchers of the network, briefly describe here the focus of this publication.

The researchers also enact some factors for success in terms of best practices when working with NEET, such as countries’ level of development, active employment policies or social entrepreneurship initiatives. Finally, they project what are the measures that should be taken in order to run more effective programs and policies for rural young people.
