CARDOZO, Griselda  y  GONZALEZ, Ana Silvia. Transition to adulthood among working-class women (Córdoba, Argentina). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.205-226. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.18303.

The transition to adulthood among working-class young people has become more prolonged and complex. Introducing the gender perspective to this problem leads to questioning whether being a woman represents an additional difficulty. This paper analyzes the ways in which the transition to adulthood among working-class young people of Córdoba (Argentina) occurs. This is a qualitative study that constructs biographies of the women and uses them as a data collection instrument. The research focused on 12 women between the ages of 19 and 26 who attend two different social labor educational centers. The transition to adulthood among young woman is not presented in the same manner. It is expressed in individual experiences - dealing with employment and education - that involve problems and tensions that affect the success of their transitions.

Palabras clave : Keywords:; Disadvantaged young people; women; poverty; biographies; transition to adulthood; education and employment.
