| Summary: | The article analyzes the reasons why some young people in Brazil are more likely than others to fall into the NEET category (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) in the period 2004/2015. It uses a Logit model, disaggregating the young according to several personal, family, household and geographical characteristics analyzed in the specialized literature. The main difference is the separation of the NEET into two groups - inactive and unemployed -, which allows us to observe the differences between them and compare the results. The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of the NEET condition in young people in Brazil in order to evaluate: i) the main determinants that lead young people to be NEETs, separating the subgroups into inactive and unemployed; ii) if changes in these determinants occurred between 2004 and 2014 given the demographic, economic and educational changes that occurred in the period; iii) and, if in 2015, due to the economic crisis which started in mid-2014, there was a change in these determinants and in the social and economic vulnerability of young people. |
