A Review of Evolving Paradigms in Youth Studies Guerrero Puerta, Laura M. Youth Neoliberalism–globalisation School-to-work transition De-standardised trajectories Sociology of transition This article focuses on the changes experienced by European youth because of the neoliberal globalised model. It analyses the impact of these socio-economic changes on school-to-work transitions and explores different theoretical perspectives (from the linear to pinball models) to understand them from a critical point of view centred on the individual. These transformations have caused the traditional markers of passage to adulthood to become diluted, generating de-standardised trajectories with possible “round-trip” states. The aim is to provide an understanding of youth-related phenomena under models described with the sociology of transition, exploring aspects such as reversibility and contextual influence on their life course 2023-07-19T07:47:57Z 2023-07-19T07:47:57Z 2023-05-29 journal article Guerrero Puerta, L.
