Inequalities2 #11

This is episode number 11 of season number 2 of #futureframedtv – #inequalities, an original traces&dreams podcast hosted by Dr. Alice Krozer.

In this episode, Alice speaks with Dr. Raul Zepeda Gil, a sociologist of conflict and lecturer at Oxford’s Department of International Development (ODID) who researches organized crime in Mexico. They talk about the concept of “Ni-ni”s (NEET in English), the youth population that is not on labor, education, or training, and their (imagined) association with organized crime in Mexico. Raul argues that the concept is both stigmatizing and empirically inadequate, and depicts possible better policies to prevent crime instead of labeling vulnerable youth as the culprits by statistical association.
