DIGITALIZATION, PRECARIOUSNESS AND (DIS)INTEGRATION IN THE LABOR MARKET. TRAJECTORIES OF RURAL NEETS IN PORTUGAL
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.22409/tn.v22i49.63728Abstract
Although the relationship with the labour market is central in framing youth experiences, precariousness and vulnerability extend beyond it. In a context of polycrisIs and uncertainty about the future, this article focuses on the life trajectories of young NEETs. Between October 2022 and January 2024, focus groups and in-depth interviews were held with stakeholders from employment and training centres and young NEETs in Portugal to analyze their aspirations, living conditions and strategies for mitigating difficulties through market inclusion programs of work.
Keyword: Young NEET; Portugal; Precariousness. Public Employment Services; Trajectories.
