Committed to work but vulnerable: self-perceptions and mental health in NEET 18-year olds from a contemporary British cohort

Year: 2020

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: Labour market disengagement among youths has lasting negative economic and social consequences, yet is poorly understood. We compared four types of work-related self-perceptions, as well as vulnerability to mental health and substance abuse problems, among youths not in education, employment, or training (NEET) and among their peers.
