Abstract

This study aims to outline the socio-demographic profile of young people neet, even those who live in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza (RMF), in addition to estimating the probability of being in this condition. PNAD 2015 microdata is the main source of information. As for the results, the most striking characteristics in the profile of the young people neet, from 15 to 29 years old, is the predominance of women, of mixed race/color, with complete high school or incomplete higher education, single, lives with their parents, in an urban area and in households with income up to ½ minimum wage. The probit model showed that only schooling negatively affects the probability of being in this condition, while the other variables have a 'positive' effect, by increasing the chance of being neet, with emphasis on per capita family income below half the minimum wage, explanatory variable with the greatest impact, reaffirming the financial vulnerability of young people who are in such condition.
