L'entrée sur le marché du travail des jeunes adultes : enquête longitudinale auprès de diplômés de second cycle à Montréal
Based upon a longitudinal study about ten graduate students in Montreal, this research uses a short temporal perspective of entering into labour market, and highlights the subjective tensions between personal fulfilment at work through constant learning, and economic independence through employment. Monthly interviews from may to december 2016 were made, from witch four consecutive phases emerged : the phase of professional prospection (through the formulation of a professional project), the phase of waiting and delay (by adjusting to new rhythms and autonomous learning), the phase of confrontation with the job market reality (with the potential achievement of professional project), and the phase of professional choice (characterized by labour market integration and by youth and adulthood representations). To that end, this study emphasizes the relationship between work and employment of young adults and its symbolic components, linked to the in-betweenness of emerging adulthood.
