Bibliometric analysis and mapping with vosviewer in neet-head research in social sciences

The concept of NEET, which is derived from the initials of the words “Not in Employment, Education or Training”, is a classification used to describe only the idle young unemployed in the labor market between the ages of 15-65. Starting from England, which we can accept as the birthplace of the concept, it has emerged as a research field that has been increasing day by day since the 2000s. At this stage, bibliometric analyzes gain importance in order to see the historical process, interaction power, scientific and political effects of scientific research related to NEET, and to measure its quality and quality. In order to make this analysis, references to scientific studies are an important indicator. In this study, citation analysis was performed with the help of VOSviewer open source software, which works on a cluster-based basis thanks to its special algorithms, and the relations between researches, countries, keywords and authors were analyzed. As a result of this analysis, relationship networks were mapped and interpreted.
