Young Italian NEETs (not in employment, education, or training) and the influence of their family background

This work investigates the relationship between family variables (parents’ educational level, relationship quality, intrusiveness, support, and autonomy) and young Italians’ status as NEETs (Not in Employment, Education, or Training). We used data from a representative sample of 9,087 young Italians. Each participant filled out an anonymous online questionnaire that contained several scales to measure the variables mentioned above. The results reveal that parents’ educational level and support have a protective effect on the risk of becoming a NEET for both genders. Autonomy has a specific negative impact for males while intrusiveness has a positive impact mainly for females. peerReviewed publishedVersion

本研究考察了家庭变量（父母受教育水平、亲子关系质量、家庭侵入性、家庭支持与自主性）与意大利青年NEET（Not in Employment, Education, or Training）状态之间的关联。本研究采用了涵盖9087名意大利青年的代表性样本数据，所有参与者均填写了匿名在线问卷，问卷包含多个用于测量上述家庭变量的量表。研究结果显示，父母受教育水平与家庭支持对两类性别群体陷入NEET状态的风险均具有保护效应。自主性对男性群体存在特定的负面影响，而家庭侵入性则主要对女性群体产生正向影响。本文为经同行评审的已发表版本。
