摘要

This study explores the experiences of social studies teachers in Türkiye who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), within a collectivist cultural context. A qualitative design was used to analyze the narratives of 22 individuals experiencing NEET status, identified through a two-stage process involving semi-structured oral and written interviews. A problem–solution oriented narrative analysis approach guided the exploration of reasons for NEET status, lived challenges, and coping strategies. Findings were organized around revealing how cultural norms, family expectations, and systemic barriers shaped NEET experiences. The study offers implications for educators, policymakers, and community leaders.
