Unga vuxna som varken arbetar eller studerar : Inifrånperspektiv om vägar till sysselsättning

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study has been to explore and provide the social work field with testimonies about experienced factors of success using interviews with people who previously were not in education, employment or training (NEET). NEETs were classified into five categories to identify themes in their experienced factors of success. This process was made through thematic analysis. The experienced factors of success were thematized into major themes. The expressed themes followed the person to whom it belonged into their respective NEET-category. Categories and themes were analyzed with Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory. Through this analysis we found indications that different NEET-categories have different needs. This could be an indication that categorization can shed some clarity in the NEET phenomena. Viewing NEET as categories with specific needs provides homogeneity which could accelerate the social services process of identifying and providing appropriate help. Though specific needs of individual NEET-categories need further investigation to become effective.
