Abstract
This contribution aims to provide an overview of the current situation of the labour market and of young NEETs in Italy. Particular attention is paid to the impact that the pandemic has had on the phenomenon. Through the presentation of the main policies and projects implemented to combat inactivity and youth unemployment, this report aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of these measures in order to offer suggestions and possible new paths to counteract the growing phenomenon of NEETs. Amongst the main difficulties encountered is that of the interception of NEETs, a heterogeneous and complex group, and which is seldom involved and engaged in the mea-sures analysed. However, a glimmer of effectiveness seems to come from the world of NGOs (who are by nature committed to the fight against social exclusion), and wherein through ad hoc projects they have managed to reach and empower a large number of vulnerable young people. The authors hope, therefore, that political structures can take the involvement of these organisations, which are so familiar with the different territories and the socio-cultural difficulties they govern, into greater consideration.
