- Forced to deal with the future: uncertainty and risk in vocational choices among portuguese secondary school studentsPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Almeida, Lia; Resende, JoséIn contemporary societies, adolescents' individuation is largely staged within the educational system, and is defined by several schooling options. This is particularly true when young people reach upper secondary education, as this transition implies the definition of a personal project. In the Portuguese context, authenticity is linked to the ‘obligation’ of choosing – by means of a compulsory vocational choice. To define a personal project that gives studies a meaning becomes a problem pupils have to deal with. Supported on empirical data based on in-depth interviews to pupils attending 10th and 12th years of upper secondary education in Portuguese public schools, this article discusses some of these issues. Specially, we intend to explore pupils' obligation to exhibit their autonomy by choosing a school path with the awareness of risks that may emerge along with their options.
- Jóvenes y políticas juveniles: algunos desencuentros. El caso del programa Garantía Juvenil en PortugalPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Pappámikail, Lia; Ferreira, TatianaLa reciente crisis económica ha generado elevadas tasas de desempleo juvenil en la mayoría de los países europeos, provocando un clima de alarma social en torno a los riesgos asociados al modelo social europeo. En este contexto, en 2013, la Comisión Europea ha lanzado la Garantía Juvenil para luchar contra la exclusión de jóvenes que no se encuentran en una situación de empleo, educación o formación(NEET). Este artículo procura analizar el impacto y los retos de la implementación del Sistema de Garantía Juvenil en Portugal. Tenemos la intención de: i) mapear los jóvenes en condición NEET en Portugal y sus especificidades; ii) cuestionar el uso político de la categoría NEET, a través de la identificación de desajustes en la implementación del Sistema de Garantía Juvenil. Por último, se destaca la necesidad de repensar la implementación de políticas públicas destinadas a los jóvenes en condición NEET, teniendo en cuenta un mejor conocimiento de la pluralidad de esta población.
- Proximity and shared governance? Obstacles and organisational tensions in YG program in PortugalPublication . Ferreira, Tatiana; Pappámikail, Lia; Vieira, Maria ManuelFollowing the last global economic crisis, one of the major structural problems Europe had to face was the substantial rise in unemployment rates. In particular, young people, on the one hand, and the contexts where the financial crisis was more intense and even led to external intervention, such as Portugal, Greece, Ireland and to a lesser extent, Italy and Spain, on the other, were considerably affected. Such rise in youth unemployment rate contributed significantly to a simultaneous increase in the number of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), which have been monitored for some time as one of the major risks affecting contemporary young population. The idea that young people were increasingly disconnected from the major inclusion social structures, such as education and employment, motivated the building up of the EU largest policy and financial package in the field of employment, the Youth Guarantee Program (YG), launched in 2013 and implemented by each member state according to each country specificity. Expected to last until 2020, the program was aimed at ensuring all young people under the age of 25 years (in some cases, like the Portuguese one, the limit was raised to 29 years) receive a good quality offer of employment, continued education, apprenticeship or traineeship within a period of four months of becoming unemployed or leaving formal education. Although rooted in the field of employment, the program underlines the importance of education, stressing the idea that young people could and should receive appropriate educational and training offers in order to enhance their present and future employability, especially for those whose trajectories are marked with school failure and dropout.

- NEETs in Europe: from Plural (In)visibilities to Public PoliciesPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Pappámikail, Lia; Ferreira, TatianaIn recent decades, a considerable amount of research on youth transitions (Brooks 2009; du Bois-Reymond and Chisholm 2006; Pais and Ferreira 2010) has pointed to the complexity of contemporary young people’s lives, as progression into adulthood has become increasingly prolonged, fragmented and largely unpredictable. More re cently, the high level of youth unemployment rates observed during the economic crisis became a matter of deep concern for political authorities at the global level (Bendit and Miranda 2015; Eurofound 2012; Inui 2005; Longo and Gallant 2016; Longle 2016; Henderson et al. 2017; Jacinto 2016).
