Considering qualitative data analysis and researcher reflexivity in team-based longitudinal research projects
Qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) has grown in popularity in recent years. In this article, we consider how qualitative longitudinal researchers work with data in the context of team-based studies, drawing on our own experience working together as part of a larger team on a QLR project. We focus particularly on the concept of reflexivity, arguing that while it has been central to much methodological writing on QLR, it has seemingly less inf…
Betting with mates’: Gambling apps, masculinities and the financialisation of everyday life
The emergence of new digital technologies makes gambling more accessible than ever before. Whilst problem gambling is known to be a gendered issue predominantly impacting men, how young men use and understand gambling apps is not well understood. Most gambling research is conducted from a psychological perspective that does not account for gambling as a social practice, or the digital aspects as part of broader processes of financialisation and ‘…
Intergenerational Experiences of Belonging and Place‐Attachment Amid Environmental Challenges in Regional Australia
Recent scholarship has turned to the concept of ‘intergenerational belonging’ and to questions about how belonging is navigated and experienced in contexts marked by environmental challenges. This article contributes to each of these bodies of literature by considering how members of different age cohorts experience, perform and represent belonging and place attachment in a regional Australian suburb undergoing significant environmental change. I…

How does providing financial and practical support to young adult children impact upon their parents’ present-day lives and future plans
Family financial support of young adults has occupied growing scholarly attention over recent years yet remains disconnected from literature addressing the intensification of parenting, which focuses primarily on children. In this article we seek to connect these bodies of literature in order to consider how providing financial and practical support to young adult children affects their parents’ lives and future plans. We present the findings of …
Understanding the Role of Migration, Culture and Transnational Ties in Family Financial Assistance With Home Ownership
Family financial assistance with home ownership has attracted significant scholarly attention in recent years. However, the role of culture and ethnicity, transnational ties, and migration in this practice remains significantly under-addressed. By drawing on interviews conducted with donors and recipients of family financial assistance with home ownership in Australia who had personal and recent family experiences of migration, this article begin…
Paradoxical Parenting Practices and Australian Higher Education
While there is now a large literature on 'intensive parenting' practices, the majority of studies have focused on young children, rather than those in their early adulthood. This article draws on interviews with 30 Australian parents to explore parenting practices as they pertain to higher education. It argues that although parents tended to stress the importance of children achieving independence during their degree programmes, in other ways, th…
Lateral Financial Assistance with Home Ownership: Understanding the Role of Siblings
Studies of family financial assistance with home ownership have focused exclusively on vertical forms of assistance, in which members of older generations help younger relatives to finance home ownership. Consideration of the role of siblings has been limited to accounts of their competing requests for assistance, leaving the topic of lateral assistance between siblings absent from these discussions. This article presents findings from interviews…
Buy Now, Pay Later technologies and the gamification of debt in the financial lives of young people
In many countries Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) services have rapidly become a pervasive option to pay for consumer products both online and instore. Under-regulated and specifically marketed at young people, BNPL services use gamified and social media-like features to create frictionless user interfaces that supposedly resonate with the way young people engage online and in digital spaces, producing specific financialised subjectivities. In this arti…

Rehabilitation Services for Young-Onset Dementia: Examples from High- and Low–Middle-Income Countries
The WHO Dementia Global Action Plan states that rehabilitation services for dementia are required to promote health, reduce disability, and maintain quality of life for those living with dementia. Current services, however, are scarce, particularly for people with young-onset dementia (YOD). This article, written by an international group of multidisciplinary dementia specialists, offers a three-part overview to promote the development of rehabil…

Indebtpending: an ugly feeling of youthful financialised futurity
Winging it”: How youth workers navigate debt with young people
Debt is a growing, but poorly understood issue for young people in Australia and internationally. To understand how young people seek help with debt, we conducted interviews and focus-groups with 16 youth workers and two financial counselors. We found that youth workers are often the first point of connection for young people experiencing debt. Young people were unlikely to seek help specifically for financial issues but disclosed these issues to…
Intergenerational financial assistance with home ownership: Considering the potential for financial elder abuse
Intergenerational financial assistance with home ownership has attracted increasing scholarly interest in recent years. Existing research has focussed primarily on its impact on inequality, housing market outcomes and notions of meritocracy, as well as the relational dynamics through which it is negotiated. The topic of financial elder abuse has, however, remained an area of relative silence in this literature despite concerns raised by advocacy …
Who is receiving financial transfers from family during young adulthood in Australia
Parents are increasingly providing financial support to their adult children. At the same time, it is often taking young people into their 30s to convert educational credentials into career outcomes, establish independent households, and marry or form partnerships. While the role of the so-called 'bank of mum and dad' in assisting with entry into home ownership is well established, its effects are potentially far wider, for example affecting youn…
Youth and the consumption of credit
This article explores young people's consumption of credit and the role of credit and debt in the distinction between youth and adulthood. The article engages with recent shifts in the nature of credit that have turned credit into an object of consumption in itself, as well as broader arguments about the financialisation of daily life, in order to understand the temporalities and moral distinctions enacted in different forms of credit and debt am…

Intergenerational Assistance with Home Ownership: Understanding the Relational Development of Financialized Subjectivities
Recently scholars have turned their attention to the role of intergenerational financial assistance in facilitating entry into home ownership for young adults. This practice has been identified as a means through which intergenerational inequalities may be translated into intragenerational inequalities. However, the question of what this form of financial dependence on family means for both young adults and their parents has received less attenti…
Embodying debt: Youth, consumer credit and its impacts for wellbeing
Young people form the primary target demographic of new ‘buy now pay later’ (BNPL) and digital credit services. Despite consistent data showing young people as a cohort are particularly vulnerable to unsustainable levels of indebtedness, little is known about how young people define and make sense of the experience of being in debt through consumer credit services. This paper explores how indebtedness is experienced and understood in relation to …
Perpetration, Victimhood, and Blame: Australian Newspaper Representations of Domestic Violence, 2000–2020
Newspaper media plays a significant role in forming a public understanding of domestic violence. This article analyses 554 articles from 24 newspapers across Australian states and territories published between 2000 and 2020 that describe specific instances of domestic violence. It examines whether such violence is framed as a systemic issue or as a collection of individual events, as well as how such representations of perpetrators and victims di…
Liminality, Covid ‐19 and the long crisis of young adults' employment
The COVID‐19 crisis has brought into sharp relief the precarious employment situation of young people, precipitating a raft of academic and public claims of an unprecedented crisis that has disrupted young lives. Our study contributes to research on youth labour and transitions with new longitudinal empirical analysis. Our analysis challenges the “newness” of the precarity highlighted by COVID‐19, focussing on employment. It draws on longitudinal…
Hospitality work and the sociality of affective labour
This article explores how the social relationships of precarious workers contribute to employment and labour practices in the hospitality industry. In so doing, it contributes to theoretical discussions about the nature of post-Fordist labour, and to studies of the social relations of precarity as they are enacted in workers' intimate lives. Empirically, the article describes a distinctive mode of interpersonal negotiation and sociality practised…
Youth, Precarious Work and the Pandemic
While Australia has experienced low COVID-19 case numbers relative to other countries, it has witnessed severe economic consequences in the wake of the pandemic. The hospitality industry, in which young adults are overrepresented, has been among the most affected industries. In this article, we present findings from an interview and a digital methods-based study of young hospitality workers in the Australian cities of Melbourne and Newcastle who …
Agency, futurity and representation: Conceptualising hope in recent sociological work
Although humanities and social science disciplines have witnessed an explosion of interest in the topic of hope in recent decades, uptake of this concept has been comparatively uneven in sociological research. Hope has garnered substantial attention in relation to topics such as health, poverty, youth and work within creative industries, while attracting sporadic interest elsewhere. However, despite this uneven engagement, studies addressing hope…
Intersecting marginalities: International students' struggles for “survival” in Covid‐19
This article draws on examples from a study of the impacts of coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) shutdowns on young hospitality workers in Melbourne and Newcastle, Australia, in May and June of 2020. We explore how existing vulnerabilities related to gender, migrant status, and precarious hospitality work were intensified by the impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic for young women international students in our study. The international students we di…
Keeping it in the family: Understanding the negotiation of intergenerational transfers for entry into homeownership
House prices have risen sharply in most Australian capital cities in recent years. Due to Australia’s strong identity as a homeowning nation and the related tendency towards entering the housing market within the 25–34 age bracket the impact of rising property prices has been distinctly generational, with young adults experiencing significant challenges entering the property market. A growing number of studies have identified financial transfers …
Young adults’ hopes for the long-term future: From re-enchantment with technology to faith in humanity
Recent scholarly research has claimed that young people are predominantly concerned with their immediate 'horizon of planning', resulting in an outlook upon the future that is dominated by present-day concerns. By distinguishing between choices and plans, on the one hand, and hope and faith, on the other, this article analyses how young people relate to the future through their attitudes about responsibility and technology in order to complicate …
Young people's strategies for coping with parallel imaginings of the future
Sociological work has often characterized the contemporary future horizon as a space crowded with risks and contingencies. This view has prompted a number of claims that young adults conceptualize the future predominantly in terms of the choices and plans that they make to mitigate against such concerns. As an extension of this logic, a number of studies have suggested that young adults conceptualize the long-term future extending beyond their ow…
Everyday social media use of young Australian adults
Current research on young people’s social media use tends to revolve around notable and spectacular forms of usage, and usage by specific identity-based groups on specific sites. The everyday social media use of ‘ordinary’ young people and its theoretical significance for youth sociology is less often considered. This paper presents findings derived from longitudinal data collected from 446 young Australians about their social media use. Using Co…
Gendered expectations of the biographical and social future: Young adults’ approaches to short and long-term thinking
Numerous studies have found that although young adults are arguably less constrained by gendered norms and expectations than previous generations, they have nevertheless continued to imagine their biographical futures in highly gendered ways. In this paper I draw on an analysis of 28 in-depth interviews in which 16 women and 12 men (aged 18–34) were asked to discuss their expectations for both the biographical and social future. The results of th…
The discursive construction and performance of gendered identity on social media
This article looks at the construction and performance of gendered identity through a sub-section of Facebook web pages belonging to the Slut Walk movement. The authors' analysis suggests that gender is constructed through the subjects' participation in the 'post-feminist masquerade' through which their gendered identity is defined in relation to a hegemonic masculine ideal. This situates the web pages within a space characterized through the amb…
Staying, leaving and returning: Rurality and the development of reflexivity and motility
Studies of rural areas have necessarily been occupied by discussions of migration, the experience of which is often concentrated among young adults in the years immediately following the end of secondary education. This dynamic has been attributed to a mobility imperative that equates leaving rural areas for the opportunities offered by urban centres with success, and staying in rural areas with failure. This article interrogates the distinction …

The Role of Housing Wealth in Young Adults' Imagined Futures: Investor Subjectivities in the Minskian Household
Scholarly interest in assets has grown over recent years, with housing receiving particular attention. At the same time a related body of work has focussed on intergenerational financial assistance with home ownership, considering how proximity to assets may lead to direct assistance with purchasing property. In this article I draw on interviews conducted with 80 donors and recipients of family financial assistance with first home ownership in or…

From Life-course Expectations to Societal Concerns: Seeking Young Adults’ Perspectives on Generational Narratives
Young adults’ use of individualized explanations for conditions that are structural in origin is well documented. However, recent scholarship has contended that young adults are often more aware of the macro-scale forces that shape their life chances than has previously been acknowledged. We build upon this work by drawing on findings from focus groups conducted with 19 Australian young adults aged 27–28 in which they were called upon to discuss …

Hope, Utopia, and Everyday Life: Some Recent Developments
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in hope in the disciplines of sociology and anthropology. Although expressions of hope on varying scales have been considered, this article focuses on recent scholarship addressing micro, often individual experiences of hoping. Such experiences of hope dovetail with a recent strand in utopian studies focusing on material and practice-based considerations and drawing utopian energies into everyd…

The impact of pandemic-related loss of work on young adults’ plans
This article presents the findings of an interview and digital methods-based study of young Australian hospitality workers who lost work in the wake of the pandemic. In so doing it focuses on the relationship between one’s present-day material conditions and their capacity to form plans for the future, and the role of planning in young people’s future thinking. The article argues that the impact of the pandemic on the participants’ plans can be b…
The new gendered labour of synchronisation: Temporal labour in the new world of work
Research considering how time is organised has shown that women tend to carry a disproportionate burden of coordinating the schedules of their households. However, little research has considered how these gendered inequalities may manifest in the context of the shift away from 'standard' work patterns and towards variable and non-standard hours. We address this question by using interview and digital data to consider how a selection of 'ordinary'…
Formations of belonging in Australia: The role of nostalgia in experiences of time and place
Although residential mobility has been studied at length, residential immobility has been addressed comparatively rarely. In this article, we draw on interviews conducted with 35 participants aged 38–39 in 2012 in Victoria, Australia, in which they were asked to reflect on their lives over the previous 20 years, focusing specifically on those who have remained in or returned to the areas in which they grew up. We focus on the role of nostalgia in…

‘How Much Do I Want the Apocalypse to Happen and Just Wipe this All Clean?’: The Use of Apocalyptic Narratives by Non-religious Youth
Although the ways in which young adults relate to their own futures has been studied at length, the question of how they perceive the long-term, societal future has received comparatively less attention. This article considers how young adults relate to the long-term, societal future with reference to the concept of apocalypse. It draws on an analysis of 28 interviews in which religious and non-religious young adults were asked to discuss their p…

Browsing for Cunzaigan on WeChat: Young People’s Social Media Presence in Accelerated Urban China
This article examines how young Chinese adults living in urban areas experience cunzaigan (a Chinese word that translates to ‘sense of existence’) through sharing mundane life moments on the social media platform—WeChat. We draw on the theories of social acceleration and social presence to interpret this practice and, in so doing, find that for our participants, cunzaigan signifies a subjective experience, testifying that they are here, providing…

Belonging and the Self as Enterprise: Place, Relationships and the Formation of Occupation-Based Identities
Research considering young adults' experiences of place is characterised by two focal points: the relationship between place, education and employment; and immaterial aspects of place such as experiences of belonging and relationality. Previous research has worked across these focal points considering, for instance, how symbolic and immaterial factors and social ties can inform mobility choices and experiences. We extend this work by drawing on l…

Understanding Home Renovation as a Material Future-Making Practice
This article considers whether home renovation can be understood as a material future-making practice. By drawing together studies of memory and domestic spaces and material futures it considers how each field can be expanded by focusing on the specific ways in which domestic futures are anticipated and formed. Data from a 2018 interview and photovoice-based study of Australian young adults' pathways into and experiences of homeownership are pres…
Youth Beyond the City: Thinking from the Margins
Youth Beyond the City: Thinking from the Margins
The purpose of this book is to situate the place beyond the city as an epistemological vantage point for researching youth. Existing frameworks about young people privilege large urban centres or ‘global cities’ and create forms of marginality that are at once spatial and epistemological. This book interrogates and moves beyond these boundaries, turning the margins into a unique position for understanding youth and examining forms of difference w…
