Small jobs and great trouble - Being young and unskilled in a rural environment
Between the steady decline in the school drop-out rate and the increasing importance of qualifications for professional integration, young people without qualifications face an increasingly difficult situation on the labour market. This is particularly true in rural areas, where these young people find themselves trapped in a situation of structural instability, paradoxically perpetuated by their visceral attachment to work. This Céreq Bref explores the complex dynamics of their integration, between the desire for autonomy, the rejection of the stigma associated with social benefits, and the exploitation of their availability on the labour market.
