RESUMENEn este artículo se analiza el planteamiento general, diseño, y concreción en medidas específicas del Sistema Nacional de Garantía Juvenil (SNGJ) en España. El objetivo es estudiar en qué medida la garantía juvenil española se ajusta a los principios de tailoring (flexibilidad y aplicación "a medida" de las diferentes medidas) y targeting (orientación hacia los colectivos con mayores dificultades de inserción) que emanan de las directrices europeas. Para ello se utiliza un enfoque cualitativo sostenido en un diseño metodológico que articula el análisis documental con el de entrevistas semiestructuradas a expertos y responsables de la implantación del SNGJ. El análisis desarrollado nos lleva a concluir que existen dudas razonables respecto al grado en que tanto el diseño general del SNGJ como las medidas en las que se ha concretado se ajusten a los principios señalados. Se evidencian así los obstáculos existentes para que los recursos destinados a la garantía juvenil produzcan los efectos deseados.Palabras clave: Juventud, Garantía Juvenil, Políti-cas de Empleo, Mercado de trabajo español, NEET.
ABSTRACT
This article analyses the general approach, design, and specific measures of the National Youth Guarantee System (SNGJ) in Spain. The objective of this study is to determine to what extent the Spanish youth guarantee adheres to the principles of tailoring (flexibility and customised implementation of measures) and targeting (focusing on the groups with greater difficulties in labour market
This article focuses on the role that local employment services (LES) play in informal social capital building for young people with a disadvantaged social background. The personal networks of these young people usually embed few useful resources for labour market integration, and LES actions may be an opportunity to informally build a network of contacts with better resources. To explore this possibility, biographical interviews were conducted with 24 young adults who used LES actions, and their employment trajectories were analysed. The findings highlight that these actions—especially those consisting of training or internships—provide social capital that is useful for labour market (re)integration. Linking social capital is the type of social capital that is most useful for job seeking, and it is especially effective in non‐metropolitan rural areas.
