Discovering Pathways for Eliminating NEET and Youth Future Type of Poverty
Abstract
When youth and NEET are mentioned together you do not only remember ‘youth not in employment, not in education, or not in training’, but it would also evoke your mind that it is a new type of poverty. Therefore, this paper explores the different possibilities and alternatives of dealing with NEET youth cases either before, or during, or after NEET issues occur and how to keep them away from filling into the new poverty trap.
The paper reviews the International Inspiration Economy Project (IIEP) approaches in eliminating possibilities of poverty in relevance to NEET youth. Forty case projects are presented and categorised into three types of ‘intrinsic capacity’ practices that could be established to prevent or treat NEET youth. The framework proposes creating a new wave of thinking on the management of NEET to avoid a sophisticated type of poverty. The common thread of all solutions proposed is the optimisation of ‘visualisation techniques’ which could be established in the life of youth and used to raise their capacity towards eliminating the possibilities of falling into any type of poverty.
