Abstract
This paper analyses the Youth Guarantee’s effectiveness in targeting deprived young populations in Lombardy (Milan) and Campania (Naples) with a local regulation perspective. The analysis is provided through an empirical investigation based on 19 semi-directive interviews following the snowball technique. The key findings derived from this research lead us to confirm the underdevelopment of the current youth public policies at the local level, especially in the Southern Italian region, in line with other results in other European countries, especially in Southern Europe.
