NEET Alert: one in two young mothers not in education or work

The article reports on the growing issue of NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training) in Italy, highlighting that nearly 1.18 million young people aged 15–29 and almost 1.9 million aged 15–34 are not studying, working, or participating in training programs. Women make up 59% of this group, with particularly high numbers among mothers who are more likely to not work compared to single mothers. The data comes from the second edition of the Dedalo 2025 Report, which examines the phenomenon of NEETs and aims to promote awareness and propose initiatives to address the issue. The report notes that while there has been some improvement since 2020, Italy remains above the European average of 11%, falling short of the EU target of 9% by 2030.
