Abstract:
The transition from school to work is a crucial moment in the lives of young people that shapes their future careers and life trajectories. Integrating young labour markets with society therefore represents a key challenge; many young people are disillusioned with the working landscape, which has changed quickly due to macroeconomic shocks, as well as the pandemic and its socio-economic consequences. The territorial element of youth integration has often been underestimated in comparative analysis, but recent evidence suggests the existence of significant variation in youth integration within countries. The territorial dimension of youth labour market integration is affected by multilevel governance structures, youth agency, and other contextual factors that produce differentiated outcomes, or contextual structures of opportunities. This is a complex picture, and thus there is a need to include this aspect and its multiple scales within the analytical frame of school-to-work transition.
