To investigate individual trajectories is to get to grips with career trajectories and initial and continuing training pathways. Céreq analyses all these trajectories and pathways and their evolution, in a context in which there tends to be greater permeability between employment and education/training and between initial and continuing education/training. Céreq bases its studies on field observations, interviews and statistical surveys. Among the last named, the Générations surveys (a national programme that tracks the early years of the working lives of young people with all levels of education and training) and the Defis surveys (on continuing training for employees) provide insights into these trajectories in all their complexity and over their entire duration.

La crisis ha afectado especialmente a los jóvenes en Europa. En la mayoría de los países, el aumento del desempleo juvenil hasta niveles inéditos estuvo acompañada por un deterioro de la calidad de su empleo en el período 2006-2012. Así, desempleo y mala calidad de los empleos evolucionaron juntos, de tal manera que ningún país logró bajar el desempleo a cambio de la degradación de la calidad…
Un cuarto de los jóvenes sin título al salir de la formación inicial en 2004 obtuvieron un diploma en el curso de los primeros siete años de vida activa. Las mujeres jóvenes sin título parecen obtener un beneficio sustancial, con un mayor acceso a empleos más calificados y mejor remunerados.
