Abstract

MOULIA, Lourdes  and  LEGASPI, Leandro. Vulnerable youth and upper-class youth, what do both think about study and work, and how do they build their anticipations of future?. Anu. investig. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.345-352. ISSN 1851-1686.

In a setting characterized by profound social and economic changes, there is a great inequality in the opportunities of access to study and work and in the expectations and ways of projecting the future, according to the social sector and the educational circuit of belonging. This paper attempts to analyze how both, vulnerable youth and upper-class youth produce the representations of study and work, develop their anticipations of the future and think of themselves in terms of self-efficacy. It also aims to establish relationships between the socio-educational level, the construction of identity and the above-mentioned categories. This is an exploratory and comparative study, tackled with a qualitative methodological approach, which uses in-depth interview as a technique for data collection.

Keywords : Vulnerable youth; Upper-class youth; Representations of study and work; Self-efficacy; Anticipations of the future.
