Abstract

Youth face difficulties when entering the labour market. Of
particular concern are those who are not employed and are not in
education and training (NEET), as they are characterized by low
motivation/self-confidence as well as insufficient interest in social events
and inadequate skills to find gainful employment. In the Republic of
Serbia, NEET rate has decreased in the last five years, but is still roughly
20%, high compared to their EU counterparts (Eurostat, 2019). Due to
research into Serbian NEET youth being relatively rare, this paper seeks
to establish characteristics of Serbian NEET youth and how they
successfully return to education or gain employment. The aim of this
paper is to compare NEET unemployed, inactive in the labour market
and not in education with youth who are employed to identify what
social differences may increase the likelihood of being NEET and the
risks associated with transitioning into the labour market.
