The issues of employability among individuals belonging to the NEET group (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) are significant from both an academic and practical point of view. The academic perspective is directed at recognizing and understanding factors that determine the lack of attempts and/or ineffective attempts at finding and keeping employment by young persons aged 18-29. The practical perspective is related to activation practices and educational solutions that might be effective in the case of this group of individuals. The paper focuses on the academic approach to this issue. The main aspects of employability of NEET group members were identified on the basis of studies conducted within the Support for the Young on the Mazovian Labor Market Project, designed as commissioned by the Voivodeship Labor Office in Warsaw. The analyses suggest that the lack of employment of on the part of the investigated population may be the result of the low level of their employability. (original abstract)

Problematyka zatrudnialności wśród osób z grupy NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) jest istotna zarówno z naukowego, jak i praktycznego punktu widzenia. Perspektywa badawcza nakierowana jest na poznanie i zrozumienie czynników decydujących о braku i/lub nieskuteczności prób znalezienia zatrudnienia i utrzymania go przez osoby młode w wieku 18-29 lat. Perspektywa praktyczna związana jest z działaniami aktywizującymi i edukacyjnymi, które mogą okazać się skuteczne wobec tej grupy osób. W niniejszym artykule skoncentrowano się na naukowym punkcie widzenia tego zagadnienia. Na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w ramach projektu pt. "Wsparcie młodych osób na mazowieckim rynku pracy", przygotowanych na zlecenie Wojewódzkiego Urzędu Pracy w Warszawie, ukazano główne elementy zatrudnialności osób z grupy NEET. Dokonane analizy wskazują, że brak zatrudnienia badanej populacji może być konsekwencją niskiego poziomu ich zatrudnialności. (abstrakt oryginalny)
