Tartalmi kivonat:This work is based on one of my researches that was published in Hungarian language in 2016.1 Present study focuses on young people who are NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) and it especially deals with the NEET population in a Hungarian city, called Szeged. This town is located in south-east Hungary, the third most populated city in the country. In this study the author presents the number of the NEET group in Szeged, and also focuses on the qualification levels of the members of the NEET group. Both perspectives provide data and further inspiration for future studies in the country. The research applied different statistical data sets from two informants; one of them is called Central Statistics Office (CSO), the other one is called Employment Department (ED). Both of them are located in Szeged as local organisations of their main Offices. International data (EUROSTAT, OECD) show that the issue of NEET is a considerable problem in the European Union as well as in Hungary. Furthermore, the size of the NEET group in Hungary was higher in the research year than the average in the EU and the OECD. The research points out that the size of the NEET group in Szeged is considerably high (7.31%), and the rate of man is higher (8.11%) than of women (6.57%). On the other hand, the overall qualification level is very low within the NEET which may entail integration difficulties into employment or education in the future. Apart from the fact that the NEET rate is fairly high in the town, it needs to draw attention to a very challenging issue due to the different measurement procedures coming from the two informants. The local ED is able to measure those members of the NEET group who are registered by the ED and also agreed to cooperate with the competent office. However, the CSO works from a survey which was generally taken in the Hungarian population. This was a census taken in 2011. Therefore, its scope was wider than the ED’s. The research has shown that the local ED, which registers the members of the local NEET group, is not able to see more than half of the whole NEET population (55.72%) in Szeged. Thus, apart from this statistical number, we do not know more information about the greater part of the NEET group in Szeged.
