Neet population includes young people between the ages of 15 and 29 who are not in the education system, are not employed and in training (Neet - not in employment, education or training).They find it difficult to find employment and are at greater risk of poverty. The European Union recognized the NEET population as a problem and adopted several documents and guidelines in order to reduce its number to below 10%. The most important documents are the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Youth Guarantee. Some of the countries that managed to reach that percentage are Germany, Netherlands and Denmark, while the percentage of the NEET population in Croatia is higher than 10%. The most numerous members of the NEET group are women, while migrants, people with disabilities, with lower income, people with a lower level of education, people who live in rural areas and whose parents are divorced or have a lower level of education are at a higher risk of entering NEET status. The biggest problem with the NEET population is finding it, because there is no data or records about it. This is why cooperation between different ministries, especially the education and employment systems, the local environment and experts, is essential in order to identify young people in NEET status and to find a way to help them continue their education, training or enter the labour market.
