How do you “selfassess” NEETs with respect to the world of work? Psychological area: to understand the characteristics of the NEET individual. How to contribute to its identity awareness about operating (occupying and acting) a role. To train him/her to reflect on his/her own interests, in accordance with his/her own authentic purposeful Self (Di Fabio, 2014). The question aims to understand how: a) to increase the capacity to make choices (Self confidence in decision making); b) to make them feel/perceive that they are ready (Self efficacy and Self capability); c) to raise the skills to manage problems (Self-empowerment and problem solving). 2. How do NEETs live their “condition”? Psychosociological area: to investigate the context and environment of NEETs’ life. The answers to this question must allow them to understand what they are, first and foremost: a) the causes to which they attribute their current NEET situation (external/internal); b) the roads they would like to take to move towards work (Self orientation); c) their thoughts and attitudes towards current social policies (active/passive). 3. How do you represent the labour market? Sociopsychological area: relationship aspect; ability to stay in relationships. In the answers you want to understand: a) what they thought when they were at school in the world of work (imagination about their own future); b) how their thoughts on the world of work are today compared to those years (alignment to their own reality). c) what knowledge, what information they possess of the working possibilities of their territory (awareness of employment opportunities).https://phenomenajournal.marpedizioni.it/index.php/phenomena/article/view/73/81neetsself-empowermentpurposeful selfself orientationresiliencydecision making
