ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to analyse the school-to-work transition of young people in France, focusing specifically on those who are not in employment, education or training (so-called NEETs), in order to understand their risk of becoming and remaining NEET. Using longitudinal data from a representative national cohort of French young people leaving the educational system in 2010, this study shows how NEET status fits in more or less long-lasting ways in their career pathways. We indicate that 70% of young people experienced a NEET status at least once over the three-year period, if we retain a static and conventional definition of NEET. For most of them, NEET is a temporary situation that spans all educational attainment groups. However, a quarter of the cohort is still in a NEET status 3 years after leaving the education system. The lack of educational and social capital, as well as geographical economic conditions, are decisive factors in remaining in long-term NEET trajectories.

法国从学校到工作的转变：教育在摆脱长期 NEET 轨迹中的作用

摘要 本文的目的是分析法国年轻人从学校到工作的转变，特别关注那些没有就业、教育或培训的人（所谓的 NEET），以了解他们成为和剩余的 NEET。本研究使用来自 2010 年离开教育系统的法国年轻人的代表性全国队列的纵向数据，显示了 NEET 状态如何在他们的职业道路中或多或少地以长期的方式适应。我们指出，如果我们保留对 NEET 的静态和传统定义，则 70% 的年轻人在三年期间至少经历过一次 NEET 状态。对于他们中的大多数人来说，NEET 是一种跨越所有教育程度群体的临时情况。然而，在离开教育系统 3 年后，四分之一的队列仍处于 NEET 状态。
