This study aims to provide policy makers in the region with analysis of the nini issue and options for addressing it in their countries. To do so, the study undertakes a comprehensive diagnosis quantifying the problem, develops a conceptual framework identifying the determinants of youths’ choices, uses all the available data to test the theoretical implications, and reviews the evidence regarding interventions that have proven effective in keeping youth in school and helping them become employed. This document summarizes the findings of six background papers written for the study, woven into an overall narrative on ninis. The quantitative analyses are complemented by in-depth interviews of ninis in Mexico and Honduras. The authors review programs that can prevent youth from becoming ninis, documenting their impacts and the causal mechanisms for those impacts. Combining the theoretical framework, our own empirical findings, the qualitative exercise, and an assessment of the effectiveness of existing programs, the study is well positioned to recommend policy options that can be tailored to specific countries and contexts.
