Summary/Abstract: The concept of NEETs, originated in the late 1990s, has garnered substantial focus over the past decade. This study endeavours to elucidate various facets of NEET, exploring the interrelation between youth mental ill-health, substance use, and NEET status. It examines the progression of NEET rates within the European Union and its member states from 2012 to 2022 and investigates the correlation between NEETs and numerous variables such as age, educational attainment, gender/ sex, place of residence (level of urbanization), and associated risk factors. It further delves into the barriers maintaining NEET status and examines the subgroups within NEETs, along with their interaction with employment, education, and training systems. A detailed analysis of the interplay between NEETs and social work is presented, with the paper concluding with a set of informed recommendations.
