Context analysis According to 2016 Eurostat data, Italy is the EU country with the highest number of young people aged 15-29 years old who do not work and are not involved in training courses, the so-called NEETs. These young people lose their trust into the possibilities offered by the communities where they live as well as their own skills and competences. In this context, NEETs are exposed to the risk of being marginalized and excluded from the economic and social life, since they are outside of the educational system or the labour market.
