Due to a scarcity of rigorous evaluations and to commence a realist study addressing the lack of knowledge about the workings of interventions directed towards "NEET" youth, this research aimed to understand how and under what circumstances (re)engagement initiatives are expected to facilitate the social integration of young people who are in a situation that prevents them from entering into studies or work. By conducting the first phase in realist evaluation, qualitative interviews with five managerial stakeholders from two northern Swedish initiatives and reviews of documents were carried out for data collection. Using thematic analysis and retroductive reasoning, an intervention-context-actors-mechanisms-outcomes configuration was developed to elicit an initial programme theory that explained how the initiatives were presumed to operate and under what contextual contingencies. The results indicate that the intervention is expected to improve the youths’ wellbeing and engage them in work or studies by strengthening their competence and confidence in a caring and collaborative context. To incorporate the diverse voices and heterogeneous experiences of youth themselves, and ascertain whether the intervention works as intended, for whom, in what conditions and why, the results now need to be tested in selected cases and refined in subsequent phases of evaluation research.

由于缺乏严格的评估，并开始了一项现实主义研究，以解决对针对“NEET”青年的干预措施的运作缺乏了解的问题，本研究旨在了解（重新）参与举措将如何以及在何种情况下促进处于阻止他们进入学习或工作的境地的年轻人的社会融合。通过进行第一阶段的现实评估，对来自瑞典北部两项倡议的五名管理利益相关者进行了定性访谈，并对文件进行了审查，以收集数据。使用主题分析和追溯推理，开发了一个干预-上下文-参与者-机制-结果配置，以引出一个初步的计划理论，该理论解释了这些举措是如何运作的，以及在什么样的上下文意外情况下。结果表明，干预有望改善青年的福祉，并通过在关怀和协作的环境中加强他们的能力和信心，让他们参与工作或学习。为了结合青年自身的不同声音和不同经历，并确定干预是否如预期那样有效、为谁、在什么条件下以及为什么起作用，现在需要在选定的案例中测试结果，并在随后的评估研究阶段进行完善。结果表明，干预有望改善青年的福祉，并通过在关怀和协作的环境中加强他们的能力和信心，让他们参与工作或学习。为了结合青年自身的不同声音和不同经历，并确定干预是否如预期那样有效、为谁、在什么条件下以及为什么起作用，现在需要在选定的案例中测试结果，并在随后的评估研究阶段进行完善。结果表明，干预有望改善青年的福祉，并通过在关怀和协作的环境中加强他们的能力和信心，让他们参与工作或学习。为了结合青年自身的不同声音和不同经历，并确定干预是否如预期那样有效、为谁、在什么条件下以及为什么起作用，现在需要在选定的案例中测试结果，并在随后的评估研究阶段进行完善。
