Abstract

Investigating different life courses of young people includes understanding processes of social individualization but also the vectors of unification of socializing standards in a world that became simultaneously globalized and excluding, which enlarged fields of possible choices in the face of what is determined by tradition but does not provide support and condition to make these very choices true to everybody. We will address processes of poor young people going into adult life taking the school-work relationship as the main vector. The empirical basis of our discussion comes from quantitative and qualitative data about young high-school students in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 2013 and 2015.

By contrast, in Chile, for example, the structure of transition is partly homogenized among several sectors of youth, resulting mainly from the changes taking place in education that universalized access to high school. The high rates of secondary education completion, together with the fact that 12-year schooling has recently become mandatory, somehow led most young people to go through a similar structure of transition up to the age in which secondary education is usually completed (León & Soto, 2007: 51).

The economic crisis worsened at the beginning of Dilma’s administration in 2015 and was aggravated by what has been called a judicial-parliamentary coup that ended with the impeachment of a president without proof of a crime of liability. Vice-President Michel Temer took over and opened the doors to resuming the neoliberal agenda in Brazil. This was characterized by privatization of public companies, 10-year cuts in public expenditure and the passing of the law of labor reform that withdrew rights, promoted dismissal and encouraged precarious and underpaid hiring. The year of 2016 was marked by an increase in youth unemployment.

The Youth Statute (Act No. 12,852, of 05 Aug 13) considers young the person who is between 15 and 29 years old. According to the National Research by Domicile Sampling—PNAD—2015, the Brazilian population is 204.9 million people, and 23.6 percent of the total population is considered young.

The demographic category “non-white” also includes, in addition to black people (known as black and brown people), indigenous and Asian people.
 
6
Dividing the city by areas took place as a way to maintain the proportional criterion of the sample among the units of neighborhood analyses.

The category Youth and Adult Education is a specific type of education—a modality—that ensures the right to education to people who did not have access to school or could not remain in the so-called right age group. To be included in this modality of education, you must be over 18 years of age. The acronym of this modality is EJA, in Portuguese “Educação de Jovens e Adultos.”
 
8
Program to accelerate schooling for young people of high school age (15–18 years old) who not match the expected grade for their current age.
 
9
At this stage of the research, all participants had already completed high school in the EJA modality.
 
10
Names have been changed to ensure the information remains confidential.

It should be reiterated that the questionnaire was anonymous, except in the cases of those who agreed to participate in the second (qualitative) stage of the research when biographical interviews were filmed. This allowed personalization of the scripts.
