Abstract [eng] This paper examines the subjective assessment of the labour market opportunities of young people (aged 18-35) who are not in employment, education or training in Lithuania. It consistently discusses the latest theoretical discourses and empirical research on NEET youth and presents the results of a sociological study (questionnaire survey) on youth life chances conducted in Lithuania in 2023. The results of the survey (N=161) revealed a subjective perspective on the necessary qualities and opportunities for employment. The study found that employment opportunities are often limited by a mismatch between individual characteristics and personal circumstances, such as family commitments or health conditions. Nearly two-thirds of respondents agree that professional competencies, such as high professional qualifications, are important for finding a suitable job. The research was carried out within the framework of the Lithuanian Research Council-funded research project "Socio-economic factors of differentiation of life chances of Lithuanian youth in Lithuania" (reg. no. S-MIP-22-42, contract date 2022-03-18).
