Giovani e lavoro: diversità, disuguaglianze e nuove prospettive.

The paper underlines above all how the analysis and interpretation of school-to-work transition and, more generally, of the relationship between young people and labour, need a complex theoretical and methodological framework, involving structural, institutional and individual variables. Secondly, it focuses on the not satisfying condition of young Italians for what regards their participation to the labour market: they often find work opportunities characterized by precarity and/or low professional skills. Thirdly, it suggests how young generations show some innovative behaviours and moods aimed to find good and new opportunities inside ongoing transformations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
