In Chile, the population currently categorized as young people who neither study nor work (known as NEETs) is nearly half a million people, which presents a challenge in terms of developing policies that allow them to enter the labor market or continue their studies. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the transition from school to work for the population of young Chileans using probabilistic models based on nationally representative data. The results show that poverty, the existence of children in households, gender and adolescent parenthood are determining factors. Some strategies are highlighted and an emphasis is placed on the need to continue research in this area, taking into account the multitude of factors involved.

Keywords : Youth unemployment; transition to active life; youth; labor market.
