Dynamiques relationnelles des transitions à la vie adulte. Complémentarité entre réseaux, soutiens et supports.

Abstract

What are the resources that can emerge from the actors evolving within the youth’s social networks? What are the characteristics of the supports actually directed towards the youth? In which conditions can a support really help the transition from adolescence to adulthood? We have chosen to use complementary analysis frameworks in order to apprehend youth’s transitions from a more complex point of view. We can conclude from our analysis that if youth need to be surrounded, the good quality of their social network is essential. Clearly, it goes without saying that youth have to show some opening towards their supports in order for them to have a positive effect on their transition process.
