El impacto de la incertidumbre en la transición a la edad adulta: Posiciones biográficas y consecuencias sobre la vida

Abstract

The labor market’s transformations have led to the diversification of working time. The temporal patterns that guided the life course are eroding: uncertainty is installed in the lives. Young people who are in the last stage of the transition from youth to adulthood are suffering this reality particularly hard. The expectations that they built in the past clash with their present. Through the analysis of twenty-four in-depth interviews we analyze how uncertainty impacts on young people’s lives and what effects it has on them. The data produced in the fieldwork show us that both the level of impact, as the consequences of uncertainty, are different for young people in the standardized lifecycle sequence and for those who have dropped it out.
