Abstract

Institutional arrangements and social background characteristics significantly influence school-to-work transitions (STWT). This study examines cross-national differences in the risk of being not in education, employment, or training among young people with and without disabilities and investigates how institutional contexts influence the duration of ‘not in employment, education or training’ (NEET) status among individuals with disabilities across 31 European countries. Using longitudinal data from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), multilevel random slope regressions were employed with interactions between self-assessed ‘limitations in activities because of health problems’ and institutional indicators. The findings reveal that higher rates of vocational enrolment, tracking in special schools and increased incapacity spending effectively reduce NEET-length among individuals with disabilities. These results underscore the importance of institutional contexts in shaping STWT and highlight the need for more in-depth comparative research on the transitions of young people with disabilities.

特殊啃老者：制度对欧洲残疾青年从学校到工作过渡的影响

制度安排和社会背景特征显著影响学校到工作的转变。本研究考察了残疾青年和非残疾青年在不受教育、不就业或不接受培训的风险方面的跨国差异，并调查了31个欧洲国家的制度背景如何影响残疾人“不就业、不教育或不接受培训”（NEET）状态的持续时间。利用欧盟收入和生活条件统计（EU- silc）的纵向数据，采用多水平随机斜率回归，并在自我评估的“因健康问题导致的活动限制”与制度指标之间进行相互作用。研究结果显示，更高的职业入学率、特殊学校的跟踪和增加的无能力支出有效地减少了残疾人的啃老族学习时间。这些结果强调了制度背景对形成STWT的重要性，并强调了对残疾青年过渡进行更深入比较研究的必要性。

期刊介绍： Work, Employment and Society (WES) is a leading international peer reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association which publishes theoretically informed and original research on the sociology of work. Work, Employment and Society covers all aspects of work, employment and unemployment and their connections with wider social processes and social structures. The journal is sociologically orientated but welcomes contributions from other disciplines which addresses the issues in a way that informs less debated aspects of the journal"s remit, such as unpaid labour and the informal economy.
