Italy is not a country for young people. Why? This book provides a
unique and in-depth collection of empirical and theoretical
material providing multiple answers to this question whilst
investigating the living conditions of young people in Italy today.
By bringing together a variety of approaches and methods, the
authors of this collection analyze Italian youth through the lenses
of three dimensions: 'Activism, participation and citizenship',
'Work, Employment and Careers' and 'Moves, Transitions and
Representations'. These dimensions are the analytical building
blocks for challenging stereotypes and unveiling misinterpretations
and taken-for-granted assumptions that portray young people in
Italy as selfish, 'choosy', and unwilling to make sacrifices,
commit and manage an independent life. These prejudices often
underplay the role of constraints they are facing in the transition
to adulthood. Studying Italian youth, therefore, not only allows us
to capture their peculiar characteristics but also to reflect more
broadly on the conceptual toolbox we need in order to understand
contemporary youth more generally. By doing so, the volume aims to
contribute to international discussion on the youth condition in
Europe.
