“…Molgat (2007) contends that when these transitions followed in relatively close sequence and over a short time, the transition to adulthood did not seem overly problematic. In recent decades, however, a growing body of research has argued that the process has become increasingly diversified with non-linearity in housing, education and employment transitions characterized by routes in-and-out of the parental home and job instability (Calvert, 2010) -a.k.a 'yo-yo' transitions (Biggart et al, 2001;Pais, 2003).…”

Transitions to adulthood not only represent a key period for individual development but also contribute to processes of social stratification. Growing evidence has pointed to increased complexity, postponement and individualization in transition dynamics. Previous research has focused on trends in school-to-work transitions and family formation; however, the central role of housing represents an interrelated process that is less understood. As pathways to adulthood have diversified, many young people experience partial independence in one sphere while continued dependence in others. Semi-dependent housing, either through parental coresidence or shared living, can be an important coping mechanism. Using the EU-SILC dataset, the research investigates the role that semi-dependent living plays within emerging adulthood across varied European contexts. The data suggests that the extent and type of semi-dependent housing varies substantially across EU15 countries. The findings indicate that levels of housing independence can be partly explained by welfare regime context while the propensity for shared living appears correlated with affordability in the rental market.Although socio-cultural and economic trends play an important and interrelated role, the study argues that housing dynamics of young adulthood and the role of semi-dependent living is fundamentally shaped by the context of the housing system and welfare regime.

“…A percepção moderna do tempo de vida correspondia a uma sucessão de etapas claramente definidas -infância, juventude, idade adulta e velhice, cada uma com seus correspondentes institucionais e com expectativas sociais bem delimitadas. Essa organização repousava numa percepção linear do tempo, fundamental na época da primeira industrialização, apoiada no desenvolvimento do sistema temporal relógio-calendário e na expansão da ideologia individualista (Adam, 1995;Araújo, 2005b;Leccardi, 2005a;2005c;2005d;Pais, 2003). Tempo linear implicava trajetórias contínuas marcadas pela passagem dos indiví-duos por uma série de instituições que coordenavam os ritmos individuais àqueles coletivos -escola, serviço militar, trabalho, aposentadoria.…”

Based on a reflection on two ethnographic researches carried out by the author (2000; 2008) on youth time in poor neighborhoods of Recife, the article aims to stand for the heuristic potential of time for the study of youth. Both researches give priority to "lived time", the first research brings questions about free time and the second one focuses the biographical dimensions. The article includes theoretical discussions about time and youth, especially from anthropology, and also shows the methodological choices followed by the author.

“…Concretamente, sobre los jóvenes que ocupan la última fase de la transición de la juventud a la edad adulta. Socializados en la idea de un ciclo vital estandarizado con base en la norma de empleo masculina descrita, muchos jóvenes se topan hoy con una realidad biográfica ciertamente diversificada: los patrones sobre los que crearon sus expectativas pierden validez, sus trayectorias laborales se caracterizan por la inestabilidad, la precariedad y el desempleo, sus salarios son tan escasos como sus propios derechos laborales, sus transiciones se complican, sus planes de futuro se retrasan… (Cavalli, 1985;Côté, 2000;Gentile, 2014;Leccardi, 2002;Leccardi, 2008;Leccardi y Ruspini, 2006; Moreno Mínguez, Ló-pez Peláez y Segado Sánchez-Cabezudo, 2012;Pais, 2003;Reiter, 2003;Santamaría, 2010;Santamaría, 2012;Santos y Martín, 2012). Estas cuestiones, en su conjunto, llenan sus futuros y sus vidas de una fuerte sensación de incertidumbre.…”

RESUMEN:Las transformaciones del mercado laboral han provocado la diversificación de los tiempos de trabajo. Las pautas temporales que guiaban el transcurso vital se erosionan: la incertidumbre se instala en las vidas. Los jóvenes que se encuentran en la última etapa de la transición a la edad adulta sufren con especial crudeza esta situación. Las expectativas que construyeron en el pasado chocan con su presente. A través del análisis de veinticuatro entrevistas en profundidad, estudiamos de qué manera impacta la incertidumbre sobre estos jóvenes y qué efectos tiene sobre sus vidas. Los datos producidos en el trabajo de campo nos muestran que tanto el nivel de impacto, como las consecuencias de la incertidumbre, son diferentes en los jóvenes que siguen la secuencia del ciclo vital estandarizado y en quienes la han abandonado.PALABRAS CLAVE: Transición de la juventud a la edad adulta; ciclo vital; incertidumbre; expectativas de futuro; inestabilidad y precariedad laboral. ABSTRACT:The labor market's transformations have led to the diversification of working time. The temporal patterns that guided the life course are eroding: uncertainty is installed in the lives. Young people who are in the last stage of the transition from youth to adulthood are suffering this reality particularly hard. The expectations that they built in the past clash with their present. Through the analysis of twenty-four in-depth interviews we analyze how uncertainty impacts on young people's lives and what effects it has on them. The data produced in the fieldwork show us that both the level of impact, as the consequences of uncertainty, are different for young people in the standardized lifecycle sequence and for those who have dropped it out.
