Precarious youth transitions: an analysis of the forms and effects of precarity on young people’s emotional well-being

The seminar will present the report “Salut mental, joventut i desigualtats: Una mirada integral al benestar emocional de la població jove de Catalunya”’, prepared for the Catalan Youth Agency. In this report, the authors have studied the inequalities in emotional well-being among young people and the related social and economic factors. Adopting the perspective of the social determinants of health, they analyse the relationship between young people’s emotional discomfort and the lengthening and precariousness of youth transitions at the labour, economic and family levels.
