NEETS INTEGRATION INTO SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN A CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

This article examines the integration of “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” (NEETs) into social and economic activities within the context of sustainability. NEETs represent a significant challenge for societies, as their exclusion from these activities can have adverse economic, social, and environmental consequences. The article explores sustainable approaches to address this issue, considering the potential of social entrepreneurship, green jobs, and environmentally friendly initiatives in fostering the integration of NEETs in different countries. Additionally, it discusses the importance of education and training programs that align with sustainable development objectives and empower NEETs to actively participate in a sustainable economy. The factor and regression analysis were used for this research. By exploring the nexus of NEETs integration, social and economic activities, and sustainability, this article offers insights and recommendations to policymakers and stakeholders aiming to promote inclusive and sustainable societies from the perspectives of examined countries.
