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 per cent 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.

‘Training & employment’ is a quarterly English-language newsletter aimed at informing the international community about research and other activities undertaken by the Centre for Research on Education, Training and Employment (CEREQ) in France. The article featured in this issue reports on a 2001 survey entitled ‘Generation ‘98’, which surveyed 55,000 students or apprentices who left the education system in 1998 to enter the labour market. The results of this survey were compared with those of the earlier ‘Generation 92’ survey, and revealed that the young people of 1998 gained more rapid and lasting access to employment than their 1992 counterparts, and had fewer numbers facing persistent unemployment. The 1998 survey also focused on the paths taken by young people in their school to work transition, in terms of whether they gained immediate access to long-term employment or whether they experienced periods of unemployment or engaged in further training.
