A vulnerable generation? Youth agency facing work precariousness = ¿Una generación vulnerable? La agencia juvenil frente a la precariedad laboral

Agencia y vulnerabilidad no son t\ue9rminos alternativos; al contrario, su encuentro hace emerger una caracter\uedstica distintiva de la agencia: la del \uabd\ue9bil\ubb que se enfrenta con dificultad a las restricciones y que descubre nuevas oportunidades. Tras una discusi\uf3n te\uf3rica en torno a la relaci\uf3n entre agencia y vulnerabilidad y de las transformaciones de los procesos de subjetivaci\uf3n, este art\uedculo se centra en la situaci\uf3n espec\uedfica de vulnerabilidad en el mercado de trabajo que vive la actual generaci\uf3n de j\uf3venes. El texto analiza, apoy\ue1ndose en una investigaci\uf3n realizada en Italia entre 2013 y 2017, los l\uedmites y potencialidades de la agencia de los j\uf3venes como una obligaci\uf3n en un contexto de precariedad en el trabajo. El objetivo es recalcar c\uf3mo agencia y vulnerabilidad \u2014m\ue1s que ser caracter\uedsticas intr\uednsecas del individuo \u2014 han de entenderse en relaci\uf3n con posiciones temporales, en la intersecci\uf3n de categor\uedas y recursos, en condiciones situadas y elacionales.

Italian Young People Coping with the Consequences of Economic Crisis : an Intersectional Analysis

The aim of this article is to investigate how the current economic crisis is affecting the daily lives and social positions of young people in Italy. On the one hand, starting from analysis of more general statistical evidence on the worsening situation in the labour market, we conduct an intersectional analysis \u2013 both intercategorical and intracategorical \u2013 of some indicators in order to shed light on educational and gender differences. On the other hand, we present the results of qualitative research conducted on the experiences and representations of the economic crisis among young people with low or high cultural capital in the city of Milan. The central hypothesis of our work is that \u2018the crisis\u2019 is not just a temporary economic conjuncture; it is also a social phenomenon reshaping the social positions of individuals in both structural and subjective terms. Showing how the crisis is affecting different young people in very different ways, the article investigates both structural evidence and subjective interpretations of the crisis
