Programa de transición a la vida adulta en Andalucía: Percepción de profesionales y extutelados

Abstract

Numerous international studies show that care leavers have higher unemployment rates than their age group. This article aims to find out about the benefits to facilitate the social and labour insertion of the Spanish programme of High Intensity Coming of Age +18 from the perceptions and experiences of young people and their counsellors. This program is aimed at young people care leavers from child welfare system when they reach the age of majority as an alternative after guardianship. This descriptive study uses a mixed, fixed and emergent methodological design, combining interview and survey techniques for data collection. The sample is made up of professionals, young people benefiting from the programme and graduates, aged between 18 and 23. The results point to the consideration of the positive impact of the program, as all the participants recognize its usefulness in improving their possibilities of social and labor insertion. It is concluded, that the programme is necessary and positive, being a unique opportunity for young people. However, weaknesses are also revealed such as the need for greater involvement of the Administration, the increase in subsidies and awareness of the existence of these programs.

Preparación para la Vida Adulta de la Juventud Extutelada. Una Revisión Sistemática

“…Por otro lado, una de las afirmaciones que contiene la hipótesis sí que quedaría explícitamente validada ya que hay un gran consenso dentro de los estudios a la hora de reivindicar la necesidad de prolongar la protección, desde la administración, para facilitar el tránsito a la vida adulta debido a la celeridad y brusquedad con la que se produce la emancipación de estos jóvenes (Artamonova et al, 2020;Comasòlivas et al, 2018;García-Alba et al, 2022;Gwenzi, 2018;Itzhaki-Braun y Sulimani-Aidan, 2022;Kaasinen et al, 2022;Mupaku et al, 2021;Oterholm y Paulsen, 2018), sobre todo, si tenemos en cuenta que la edad de emancipación en la Unión Europea se da a los 26.5 años (Eurostat, 2021b). Esta reivindicación se ve refrendada por la alta eficacia que están demostrando diversos programas y proyectos vinculados con el tránsito a la vida adulta (Comasòlivas et al, 2018;García-Alba et al, 2022;Melendro et al, 2020;Sevillano-Monje et al, 2021;Sevillano-Monje y Martín-Gutiérrez, 2022).…”
