The NEET has become a significant challenge for young women, affecting their social and economic participation. The objective of this investigation was to establish and elucidate a policy framework for the NEET phenomenon among young women through the use of a grounded theory approach. A qualitative research design was implemented in accordance with Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory. The data were gathered through 29 semi-structured interviews with experts and managers in the disciplines of education, skills development, and employment. The results indicated that the educational, structural, gender-related, and policy factors that influence the NEET status of young women are interrelated. The mismatch between education and labor market demands, inadequate skills-development policies, gender-based barriers, insufficient social support networks, and limited learning opportunities were among the key factors. The study identified policy strategies that include enhancing coordination among educational and employment institutions, promoting flexible learning and employment opportunities, strengthening women’s professional networks, and improving school-to-work transitions. The results indicate that a policy approach that is gender-sensitive and integrated is necessary to reduce the number of young people who are not in school. This approach should strengthen the connections between education, skill development, and employment. Improved employability, social participation, and empowerment of women are the objectives of the proposed framework, which serves as a foundation for evidence-based policy reform.
