Abstract
The handbook aims to bring clarity to the complex policy landscape required to reduce the number of young people in NEET (not in employment, education or training) status through targeted interventions. It offers a simplified categorization of policy measures – from profiling, outreach and engagement of youth outside of the labour market and supporting the unemployed youth. It promotes putting all elements together in an integrated youth employment (and NEET-targeted) strategy – and showcases existing national practices that others can learn from
