Abstract: The causes and effects of being “not in education, employment, or training (NEET)” differ according to countries, regions, and even individuals. In this study, the relationship between the causes of young people being NEET and the effects of being NEET is examined on young people in Turkey. The data and scales of cause and effect that have high validity and reliability coefficients were used from in-person field research conducted with 3158 NEET young people by Istanbul University between September and December 2020 in Turkey. The influence of the causes of being NEET scale on the effects of being NEET scale was analyzed by the multivariable regression method. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the effects of the individual, familial, educational, environmental, and labor market dimensions of the causes of being NEET scale on the effects of being NEET scale were significant.
