Abstract

Data on young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) in European countries can be understandably worrying. However, looking closely at this condition enables social sciences to understand how trajectories to NEETification emerge inside the complex and wider ecology of education/work transition, that is a path along which youths transit in and out of the labour market several times before finding their final occupation. Giving value to several – working or non-working – experiences youths make in this “interstitial†phase, can be helpful to contrast risks of becoming NEET. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of a social policy launched in 2014 by the Region of Lombardy aimed at enhancing youths’ self-activation by valorising a place where they traditionally volunteer: the (Catholic) oratory. To this aim, we draw on data collected through quali-quantitative research conducted in 2019/2020 by the Osservatorio Giovani, ODL and the Region of Lombardy.
