Children’s and Young People’s Experiences in Shelters and Their Recovery from Domestic Violence
Comment les jeunes adultes inscrits en formation professionnelle au Québec perçoivent-ils le soutien de leurs parents
Le soutien parental s’avère un sujet moins documenté en formation professionnelle (FP) qu’aux autres ordres d’enseignement. Ainsi, à partir d’une analyse thématique de 80 entretiens conduits auprès de jeunes adultes inscrits en FP, cet article vise à répondre à la question suivante : quels types de soutien les jeunes adultes inscrits en formation professionnelle estiment-ils recevoir de la part de leurs parents? L’analyse permet de présenter les …
Widening the circle
Since Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Canadian universities have pledged to Indigenize education and hired Indigenous Curriculum Specialists to implement this commitment. These new higher education employees, however, face limited resources for, and resistance to, their work. To move forward, Indigenous Curriculum Specialists are calling for fruitful dialogues between them and their interlocutors at all levels of decision and policy…
I’ve always been the one who drops everything”
Based on findings from a Canadian-based study, this article examines the stories of young adult women carers. Young adult women caring for a parent or grandparent were interviewed using social network maps, participant-driven photography and care timelines. The findings reveal numerous impacts on the women’s lives, which we categorise according to three temporal periods: the past (how they came to be carers); the present (their daily realities of…
Intergenerational Care in the Context of Migration
This article, reporting on a Canadian-based research project, tells the stories of three first- and second-generation, racialized, young women from immigrant families in order to illuminate their unique realities of intergenerational care and to better understand the role of gender, racialization, and migration in shaping their lived experiences of care. Using a feminist-informed adaption to the intersectional life-course approach, we explore the…
Social Representation of Social Work in the Canadian Healthcare Setting
Our article concerns the social representation of social work held by professional social workers in a Canadian healthcare setting. While there have been extensive theoretical debates on the professional identity of social workers, little is known about the representation of social work held by practitioners themselves. To better understand the viewpoints of practitioners, we performed an integrated content analysis of 30 semi-directed interviews…
Opening the black box of a sports-based programme for vulnerable youth
While sports-based intervention programmes for youth attract much interest, little is known about the underlying processes that might account for their impact on participants. Moreover the perspectives of youths are seldom taken into account. The present article examines the underlying processes and key dimensions of sports-based interventions that contribute to the development of youth social bonds at the micro-social level. Such bonds are essen…
Youth Policy in a Changing World
L'insertion professionnelle des jeunes québécois diplômés et non diplômés de l'école secondaire. Quel rôle joue la famille
Cet article présente une analyse du rôle de la famille dans le processus d'insertion professionnelle de jeunes Québécois diplômés (n = 32) et non diplômés (n = 35) de l'école secondaire. L'analyse d'entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés de quatre à cinq ans après leur départ de l'école s'appuie sur les théories des réseaux sociaux et des formes de capital humain, social et économique. Elle montre que les jeunes non diplômés profitent davantage de la «…
Capital social et ambivalence intergénérationnelle
Le présent article met en évidence les dynamiques relationnelles entre des jeunes et leurs parents dans la production du capital social pouvant faciliter l’insertion professionnelle. Le cas étudié concerne plus spécifiquement de jeunes adultes (n=32) ayant délaissé leurs études secondaires et que nous avons interviewés de quatre à six ans après leur départ de l’école. Bien que dernièrement les relations entre les jeunes et leurs parents soient su…
Transitionless biographies
The sociology of youth has typically focused on transitions as a way of determining how young people make it to adulthood. However, the transition from single life to partnership and family life seems to warrant further investigation because many young people are putting off conjugality and family formation. Some may not view living alone only as a transitional period but also as a more or less permanent feature of their existence. Analysis of in…
Do Transitions and Social Structures Matter? How ‘Emerging Adults’ Define Themselves as Adults
Recently, theories and research in the new field of ‘emerging adulthood’ have indicated that young people may currently view adulthood based on individualistic criteria and not according to the passing of one or another of the transitions many sociologists use to frame the analysis of youth. Based on qualitative interviews conducted with 25–29 year olds in the province of Québec, Canada, this article analyses how self-conceptions of adulthood are…
Pourquoi partent-ils ? Les motifs de migration des jeunes régionaux
Les interprétations du phénomène de migration ou de mobilité géographique des jeunes ont rarement été données par les acteurs eux-mêmes, les migrants. C'est aux tâches de repérage et d'analyse systématique des points de vue des premiers intéressés que s'est attaqué le Groupe de recherche sur la migration des jeunes au moyen d'un sondage qui a joint au-delà de 5 000 répondants. La population à l'étude correspond aux jeunes de vingt à trente-quatre…
Leaving home in Quebec
Based on the analysis of 1981, 1991 and 1996 census data and results from a survey on migration patterns conducted with 5518 youths aged between 20 and 34 in the province of Quebec, Canada, this paper sets out the general patterns of leaving home in Quebec. Particular attention is paid to age group, gender and regional-urban differences. Findings are discussed in the light of notions of disembedding (Giddens) and risk (Beck), and their interplay …
