MIRANDA, Ana  and  ARANCIBIA, Milena. The incomplete future: constructing labor trajectories for early 21st century. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.28, pp.195-217. ISSN 1514-6871.

The analysis of labor trajectories among young people acquires new meaning when it is understood as part of a more complex social structuring process, in which social norms change over life course. We consider historical time influencing young adult’s lives by virtue of the opportunities offered by the contexts they transit during their youth. This article is part of a project on career paths of young people who graduated from school during Argentina´s socio-economic crisis. We present the results of a set of biographical interviews about transitions from education to working world in Grater Buenos Aires, using a typology based on the occupational category obtained at the age of 30. As part of the conclusions, debating in the field of youth studies and social structuring processes, based on arguments about the validity of the notion of "social generation", the expansion of "grammar" of youth between different social sectors is discussed.

Keywords : Job placement; Labor trajectories; Social Generation; Education and work transition.
