Abstract:
Young People and Economic Crisis in Italy: Between Precariousness and
Uncertainty
Abstract: The article shows the complexity of the current economic and financial
crisis. It applies an intersectional perspective in order to highlight the different effects
the present ‘Global Great Recession’ is having on the lives of young people in
Italy. Particular attention is given to the young people’s generation location and the
consequences of the specific intertwining of gender, ethnic background and cultural
capital.
By analyzing the condition of young people within the crisis, it is clear that the traditional
'structural' dimensions (such as gender, class, ethnic background, social
and cultural capital, the different geographical location, etc.), although still central
in determining the effects of crises in individual lives, do not fully reveal useful if
considered in isolation. Intersectional analysis evidences that the specific social
location, result of the particular crossing of the different structural dimensions,
produces distinct configurations of opportunities and constraints, supporting or
hindering individual and collective agency.
