The participation of young people in the labor market is the main reality for the social and personal development, the construction of the identity and the balanced and incorporated development of the societies. Furthermore, work is still the dominant social time, in contemporaneity, it is also the most obvious way of allowing access to income, increasing autonomy and structuring daily life. However, from the global evolution of markets and economic systems, there have been severe consequences for young people who experiencing a more individualized and less predictable career paths, face growing difficulties in achieving their life projects. The increasing of unemployment rates, followed by other adverse circumstances, has led to the emergence of the NEET (not in employment, education or training) phenomenon, which is now a major focus of the European political discussion. Faced with the challenge of integrate young people into work, education or training, it is urgent to know, reflect and understand the specificities of this problem, marked by the heterogeneity of contexts, characteristics, needs, risk factors and effects, where the main goal is redesign strategic actions, concentrate efforts to facilitate transitions between the education or training system and the labor market. In this article, we define, in a detailed way the NEET phenomenon, enumerate some answers that have been thought and reflect on the need to awaken new views and solutions.
