Sumario:In recent decades, the transition to adulthood has become more complex and extended, often intermittent and reversible. This phenomenon has given visibility to a number of constraints affecting the development of young people's trajectories, of which job insecurity and unemployment stands out, culminating in NEET (not in employment, education or training) situations. For those who already facing a position of greater vulnerability to structural fluctuations, the constraints triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic widened and accentuated the difficulties of young people in transition to adulthood process. As the third stage of a case study on young people who neither study nor work, in this work we propose to revisit some of the most relevant conclusions drawn in previous stages, relating them to a set of perceptions generated from a focus group with participants integrated in a public response to young NEETs in the municipality of Sintra (Portugal) – reasons, challenges and experiences of the NEET situation; and perceptions about the educational system, transitions and the labor market view.
