The Neet Universe. Remarks on the italian case in a comparative perspective

For some years it has appeared in sociological, statistical and mediatic reports the acronym Neet (Not in Employment, Education or Training), which designs a universe of young people aged 15 to 29 years who does not study or work or is engaged in any training experience and, as such, is devoid of any prospect or confidence towards the future (Appadurai, 2011; Woodman, 2011; Augè, 2012). In 2014 over 2 million young people in Italy were out of the training and laboring circuit.
