Background: Many countries have large numbers of young people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETs). These youth are believed to be a homogeneously vulnerable group, risking detrimental long-term socioeconomic marginalization. Costs are high and policy-makers repeatedly voice urgent concerns. Yet, existing NEET research has important limitations, as it ignores important heterogeneity in the patterns, causes and consequences of NEET // Questions: (1) What are the patterns of NEET? (2) What are the causes of NEET? To what extent can (a) individual characteristics, (b) countries institutions and policies, and (c) their interactions explain the probability that young people 15-29 make transitions into and out of NEET periods? (3) What are the consequences of NEET? //Theory: We integrate theories from sociology and labour economics to explain relations between individual and institutional characteristics and NEET//Data/methods: First, longitudinal country data are analysed to study individual and institutional effects on trajectories in and out of NEET. Quantitative methods and case studies are employed to understand NEET patterns, to assess effect heterogeneity between individuals and reveal underlying mechanisms of NEET risks. Second, cross-national analyses assess generalizability of findings//Relevance: The project contributes important insights to research on youth marginalisation and school-to-work transitions. A policy advisory board guarantees policy relevance of results

背景：许多国家都有大量未就业、未受教育或未接受培训的年轻人（啃老族）。这些年轻人被认为是一个同质的弱势群体，长期面临不利的社会经济边缘化风险。成本很高，政策制定者一再表达了迫切的担忧。然而，现有的啃老族研究存在重要的局限性，因为它忽略了啃老族的模式、原因和后果的重要异质性。(2)啃老族的原因是什么？(a)个人特征，(b)国家机构和政策，以及(c)它们之间的相互作用在多大程度上可以解释15-29岁的年轻人进入和退出啃老族时期的可能性？(3)啃老族的后果是什么？//理论：我们综合社会学和劳动经济学的理论来解释个人和制度特征与“啃老族”之间的关系//数据/方法：首先，分析纵向国家数据，研究个人和制度对“啃老族”进出轨迹的影响。本文采用定量方法和案例研究来了解NEET模式，评估个体间效应的异质性，揭示NEET风险的潜在机制。第二，跨国分析评估研究结果的普遍性//相关性：该项目为研究青年边缘化和从学校到工作的转变提供了重要见解。政策咨询委员会保证了结果的政策相关性
