PEREZ, Pablo y BUSSO, Mariana. The Argentine youth and their unstable labor paths: myths and realities. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.147-160. ISSN 1514-6871.
In this article we put in question assertions that, by its recurrence, have passed to shape part of the "common sense" of youth studies. The idea of myth as a social institution brings us to get closer to the assertions that we analyze, because they are shared conventions. In this sense, we introduce in these pages an exercise of contraposition between what we call myths and realities around three central issues of youth employment studies: the jobs they accede, the recurring periods of unemployment, and the configuration of their labor paths. The wide bibliography on the topic will offer us the raw material of what we name myths, whereas we will realize of what we express as realities from results of our recent researches, product of the processing primary and secondary data. To this end, we adopt a perspective that articulates and complements quantitative and qualitative information. On one side we analyze statistical data of youth (15 and 24 years) employment of the Permanent Household Survey of the INDEC in the Great Buenos Aires corresponding to the period 2006-2010. On the other hand, we process information from a qualitative longitudinal panel of youth labor paths made in the same geographical area and during the same period.
