“…The NEETs indicator is a good example of a new approach to capturing different experiences of young people. The label emerged in the mid-90s in the UK in order to describe the situation of young people aged 16 to 18 years old who were not enrolled in education and who were also not eligible for unemployment benefits (Petrescu et al, 2020). At the European Union level, the NEETs age range was first set at 15 to 24 by the European Commission's Employment Committee as part of the Europe 2020 strategy indicators.…”

The situation of rural NEETs aged 15 to 24 remains understudied. However, transitions from adolescence to emerging adulthood are very demanding for those in the countryside. Our paper discusses this gap by characterising the scholarship focusing on rural NEETs. We undertook a bibliometric review based on 325 entries on Web of Science (WoS) using the Bibliometrix analysis package. Our approach included descriptive bibliometric analysis, co-citation networks assessment, and thematic analysis. Our findings show that the investigation efforts depicting younger rural NEET are recent and marginal in the larger context of international NEETs scholarship. The field is dominated by economy- and sociology-led networks. Concerns regarding health and employment issues are central in international publishing trends, showing a dominant youth-at-risk approach to this group. Still, themes associated with adolescent NEETs and relevant programs’ assessment are gaining traction. Our findings show a need for funding research initiatives to reduce the invisibility of young rural NEETs.

Formal and non-formal education often constitute the first line of engagement in supporting Rural young people Not in Employment, nor in Education, or Training (NEET). However, it is not always the case that such interventions are widely documented. This chapter aims to uncover best practice interventions for the educational inclusion of rural NEETs building upon an emergent body of work in order to frame the identification of five case studies across Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Albania, Portugal. EU and non-EU member states were included to offer a diverse set of examples. Based on Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model and data triangulation, elements that prevent rural youth from entering or staying in NEET status were identified. Our work shows that each formal or nonformal education learning intervention or reform mobilizes different levels of the bioecological framework and has an important function in shaping NEETs or at-risk youth support systems. Educational interventions that directly target young people can improve the likelihood of a positive outcome when they are context specific. In addition, these interventions make it possible to see the potential of different educational methods in supporting rural young people, when that contextualization stems directly from the young person’s perspectives and his/her perceived needs.

The article highlights the Slovenian strategies, institutions, policies, programmes, projects, and measures in tackling the NEETs, particularly the rural ones. The Youth Guarantee, and particularly active employment policy measures at a national level implemented via regional offices for employment work together to play a crucial role in bridging the gaps for the structurally and long-term unemployed in general, and especially for rural NEETs who are in transition from education and training to employment. National strategies and policies are supported by international programmes and projects. Amongst the success stories can be tentatively included the integration of the Roma population of at least one-cross-border area with geographical proximity to the neighbouring Styria region of Austria. Whilst the percentage of rural NEETs in Slovenia is modest, this does not mean an absence of the problems typical to this group i.e., less favourable personal, household, and/or other characteristics for the vulnerable, and economically and socially excluded rural NEETs. The hidden, unregistered NEETs (not participating in any programmes and policies) are at least as important as the registered ones. Both registered and unregistered NEETs are challenging issues in terms of their economic and social integration. To that end, it is necessary to provide general and specific opportunities for continued lifelong learning within the context of their personal, family, and social commitments: this will help to ensure their successful labour market and social integration, survival in the competitive labour market, quality of life by avoiding poverty risks, and sustainable rural development more broadly. Keywords: youth; NEET; education; Active Employment Policy; rural NEET; NEET strategy; NEET policy measures; Slovenia. ····· Articolul scoate în evidență strategiile slovene, instituțiile, politicile, programele, proiectele și măsurile privind tinerii NEET, în special pe cei din mediul rural. Programul Youth Guarantee și în special măsurile active de ocupare la nivel național implementate prin birourile naționale, joacă un rol crucial în acoperirea celor care sunt în șomaj structural și pe termen lung, în general, și pentru tinerii NEET care sunt în tranziție între educație, ucenicie și muncă. Strategiile naționale și politicile sunt susținute de programe și proiecte internaționale din cadrul fondurilor UE și granturilor EEA – Granturi Norvegiene (Mecanismul Financiar Norvegian). Printre poveștile de succes poate fi inclusă în mod special cea a integrării populației Roma din cel puțin o zonă transfrontalieră cu proximitate geografică cu regiunea Styria, Austria (cu capitala la Graz). În timp ce procentul tinerilor NEET din rural în Slovenia este modest, asta nu înseamnă absența problemelor de acest gen, care pot fi legate de diferitele caracteristici personale, gospodărești sau de alte feluri, pentru cei vulnerabili și excluși economic și social, NEET din mediul rural. Cei din categoria NEET care nu `se văd`, cei neînregistrați, care nu participă în niciun program sau necuprinși în politici sunt cel puțin la fel de importanți ca cei care sunt înregistrați. Ambele categorii sunt provocări pentru integrarea lor socială și economică, cu scopul de a li se crea oportunități specifice și generale pentru a continua procesul de învățare ]n vederea unui angajament personal, de familie și social față de integrarea socială și pe piața muncii, pentru supraviețuirea în competitiva piață a muncii, legat de calitatea vieții – (evitarea riscului sărăciei) –, și pentru o dezvoltare rurală sustenabilă. Cuvinte-cheie: tineri; NEET; educație; Politici Active de Angajare; NEET din rural; strategia NEET; măsuri pentru politici; NEET Slovenia.
