Being young nowadays in Spain. Difficulties in accessing to adults world / Ser joven hoy en España. Dificultades para el acceso al mundo de los adultos

Abstract

The interest in the study of Spanish youth is with us from the beginning of the economic crisis. There is not public hearing where the trinomial young -unemployment- emancipation is not mentioned. This forces us to try to explain not only the direct consequences of unemployment for young people, but the social consequences which, the non transition of these into the adult world will have in the medium term for the whole Spanish society. The welfare state is maintained, among other things, by the power of adult work but if our young people can not become adults, the obvious question is what can end up happening? In this paper we discuss this fact, emancipation, independence, the resources required to move into the adult world and scenarios that can be opened in the Spanish society.
