AISENSON, Diana B. et al. Different aproaches to study and work, percieved social support and leisure time activities in youth finishing Secondary School. Anu. investig. [online]. 2007, vol.14, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1686.

Approaches to study and work in youth finishing secondary school are studied, as well as perceived social support and leisure time activities. This research belongs to the project "Pathways, insertion in significant contexts and identity construction in youth" (UBACyT P062, 2004-2007). Outcomes from a questionnaire given in 2005 to 1339 senior students of fifteen public schools in the City of Buenos Aires are presented - as a preview of an ongoing research project -. Results show that the majority of the young people involved valued schooling positively as an activity living them personal competency useful for working and living. The majority value highly satisfactory working conditions. They perceive the social support of family, friends and girl/boy friends, neighbours, etc. In their free time they get together with friends in their or their friend's home. Differences between male and female respondents appear in ideas on study, work, and perceived social support; on the three school tracks -business, technical and college prep -, and on differences arising from social origin, specifically, parents' educational level.
