A series of talks powered by Rural NEET Youth Network covering the challenges of rural NEETs – young people Not in Employment, Education or Training living in the countryside. This podcast is based upon work from COST Action Rural NEET Youth Network supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation. Visit www.cost.eu.

Rural NEETs: What new trends are emerging from current research? – Emre Erdogan (Bilgi University – Turkey) & Paul Flynn (National University – Ireland)

According to the Eurostat, in 2020, across the EU27 member-states, the proportion of NEETs was higher in rural regions when compared with the same rate in cities. More importantly, a substantial uneven NEET distribution by the degree of urbanization was evident in many Eastern countries such as Bulgaria or Romania or Southern countries such as Greece. In these countries, gaps between cities and rural areas ranged from 10 to more than 20 percentual points.

The research community is reacting slowly to this trend. A recent bibliometric review confirms that from 324 papers focusing on NEETs published on the Web of Science, between 2002 and 2021, only 16 focused on rural NEETs.

In 2021, the Rural NEET Youth Network published a special issue on the Youth & Society journal that includes this bibliometric review. How are spatialities being included in the understanding of role NEETs situation? What are the main differences among NEETs across countries and territories? And can research better inform policies for different types of territories? These and more questions are going to be discussed in this episode.
