Educational-labor transitions of youth in times of uncertainty

What impact is the massification of higher education having on young people's transition to working life? Why are they leaving their parents' homes later and later? Is the experience of being young lived in the same way across the diversity of our societies?

The study of youth trajectories and the analysis of the various transition contexts that the new generations currently experience constitute a topic of renewed interest in social science research. The extension of the educational experience and the massification of higher education, profound productive transformations and their effect on labor organization and access to employment, as well as changes in intergenerational relations and the processes of independence and residential autonomy, constitute some of the fields where transitional analysis provides new background information for understanding social reality and discussing new perspectives to guide the development of policies functional to such transformations.
