Abstract

This chapter examines the association between family policies and the likelihood that young people become long-term not in education, employment, or training (NEET). It examines several different kinds of family policies. In Germany, although maternity leave is technically shorter, there also exists a parental leave allowance and three years of job-protected parental leave. In France, 16 weeks of maternity leave are supplemented by parental leaves that guarantee a return to work until the third birthday of the youngest child. The chapter develops hypotheses on how family policies are associated with the likelihood of becoming long-term NEET. Women are more likely to become long-term NEET as compared to men.
