“…For example, young people live "divided lives," experiencing aspects of youth and adult life simultaneously, feeling that they are "nowhere" (Bynner et al, 1997) or marginalized (Heinz, 1999). Transitions are no longer successive, manageable sequences and passages, but are now characterized by fl uctuations, discontinuities, reversals, and uncertainties (Chisholm, 1999). What may look like a successful transition may be unstable and collapse after a period of time.…”

In recent years young people's lives have been characterized by postponement of developmental timetables, inconsistencies of transitions, and loss of direction in life. Data from a longitudinal study of Israeli young adults show that the capacity for setting realistic work and love goals reflects inner strengths and is associated with adaptive outcomes. Less-articulated love and work goals are associated with underlying personality difficulties and are predictive of less stable and less adaptive outcomes. The interplay of goal constellations and personality constructs, and its association with adaptive and less adaptive outcomes is presented and discussed.

“…The above-mentioned labour market conditions suggest that the transition of young people into the labour market, which many researchers had noted even before the impact of the 'credit crunch' had become more extended during the 1990s than in the 1970s and 1980s (Chisholm 1999;Evans 2000), is likely to become even more extended in the future. Moreover, given the opacity of the C&C labour market and the fact that access is dependent on the development of the forms of social capital that provide people with access to the networks that gatekeep and facilitate employment in the C&C sector, it also suggests that access is likely to become even more competitive as the C&C sector gradually comes to terms with the implications of the 'credit crunch'.…”

The paper questions the link that policy-makers assume exists between qualifications and access to employment in the creative and cultural (C&C) sector. It identifies how labour market conditions in the C&C sector undermine this assumption and how the UK's policy formation process inhibits education and training (E&T) actors from countering these labour market conditions. It demonstrates how non-government agencies ('intermediary organizations') are creating new spaces to assist aspiring entrants to develop the requisite forms of 'vocational practice', 'social capital' and 'moebius strip' (i.e., entrepreneurial) expertise to enter and succeed in the sector. It concludes by identifying a number of: (a) new principles for the governance of E&T at the national level; (b) pedagogic strategies to facilitate 'horizontal' transitions into and within the C&C sector; and (c) skill formation issues for all E&T stakeholders to address.

“…For young people, both young men and young women, the process of de-institutionalising the course of life brings to an end the 'normal biography' and the socially standardised set of steps identified with the condition of youth on its path to adulthood (Furlong & Cartmel, 1997;Wyn & White, 1997;Du Bois-Reymond, 1998;Wallace & Kovatcheva, 1998;Chisholm 1999;Coté, 2000;Leccardi & Ruspini 2006). These steps, habitually summarised under the term 'transition'-from ending one's studies to creating one's own family nucleus-involved young people in a linear passage from one status to another that guaranteed the interweaving of the time of life with social time (Buzzi et al, 2002).…”

New biographies in the ‘risk society’? About future and planning

If the 'first modernity' construed the meaning of future as a time of experimentation and possibilities, contemporary modernity defines it rather as an uncertain dimension, as such more a limit than as a resource. This new semantic framework also deeply shapes the ways and forms in which young people's biographies come to be defined. While new ways of relating to the future and time are delineated, the 'life plan' constitutes increasingly less the principle capable of structuring biographies. Particularly visible in the biographical constructions of young people, these forms of temporalisation do not imply, however, the pure and simple loss of the future. Rather, as recent research would indicate, a number of the young people appear to be actively involved in the construction of forms of mediation between the need for subjective control over future time and the risky and uncertain social environment of today.
