Socio-professional insertion: the analysis of transition towards active life and adult life in the context of the European Union
Rafael Martinez Martin, Paula Monica Dănălache
Abstract: In the present article we analyze one of the most important processes of a young person’s life, more exactly the transit to the active life and to adult life, in the European context. The transit from the educational period to the labor market has suffered important changes beginning with the 80s that had a great impact on the development of the vital fazes of the individuals. The delay of the family emancipation, of the marriage and of the creation of a family is the result of the new labor market model, which is too precarious and in many occasions, has been defined as flexible. The young people from the 60s and the 70s succeeded to insert themselves in the labor market rapidly and, having stable jobs, the young people from nowadays have to overcome a long transitional period during which their lives have a lot of different professional trajectories evolving into a more complex and uncertain process.
