The central idea of this project consists in examining the factors that shape job seeking and the access to the labor market among young people. More specifically, in the context of the labor market, economical and social crisis, those factors would be the following:
(1) The youth social status, character attributes, including high potential homophilic relationships such as acquired educational level, gender, social class and home ownership;
(2) The access to social networks and other virtual, extensible, virtual media (strictly professional or not) as a relational mechanism and as an expression of social capital.
(3) Their personal experience and life trajectories.
