SILVA JUNIOR, Paulo Roberto da  e  MAYORGA, Claudia. NEEt Youth: Questions from Research on Youth and the Experiences of Poor Youngsters. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.2, pp.645-665.  Epub 03-Maio-2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2022.68641.

The so-called NEET youngster consists in those who neither study, nor work, nor search for employment. We analyze its construction as a social problem from a tripod: the unknowing and disinterest of poor youngster’s experiences, the glamorization of the phenomena and the constitution of a group of practices to solve it. The analyzes presented are based on research that carried out a lexical analysis of semantic universes, using as support the ALCESTE program, about the so-called NEET youngster in nineteen (19) documents of the International Work Organization/OIT, and an intervention-research with fourteen (14) young. We had analyzed how micro-relations, the macro-politics, the institutional and cultural aspects contribute to the absence of the youngsters from school and work, which are opposed to the notions that needed investments to solve the built-up problem must come exclusively from individual dimension. We had problematized the notions that consider the thought of NEET youngsters as vulnerable individuals and as a risk group, and we highlight its construction as a simulation of youngster which has his/her rights denied daily.
