Intersectional scholarship & positive youth development: Post-modern paradigm shift in understanding adjustment of marginalized youth
2016
Research on intersectionality of marginalized youth is generally situated in the assumption that non-normative identity leads to pathology and victimization. Further, most research to date has studied marginalized youth using a traditional nuclear family paradigm. In this paper we discuss how intersectionality addresses the combination of strengths and challenges of living with stigmatizing identities and family processes, towards developing successful youth adjustment. We apply the three-step intersectionality approach to study findings among a group of racial/ethnic minority and sexual minority identified youth and discuss the particular role of familism and extended kinship support belie…
"Young people, from problem to resource": a model of youth policy
2018
[Resumen] A partir de los últimos diagnósticos relativos a la juventud en el espacio iberoamericano (CEPAL/OIJ, 2004 y 2008), se identificaron una serie de tensiones y paradojas que enfrentan los jóvenes en sus procesos de desarrollo y de inclusión social. Para conciliar estas paradojas y lograr que los jóvenes de la región puedan realizar su potencial y contribuir a construir sociedades más igualitarias y productivas, se requieren políticas que consideren al sujeto joven en su integralidad. El artículo presenta una política juvenil, desarrollada en el Sur de Italia desde 2006 hasta la actualidad, dirigida a los jóvenes y orientada a la promoción de su activación. El planteamiento de esta p…
ESCOLARIZACIÓN, TRABAJO INFANTIL Y SATISFACCIÓN LABORAL: EVIDENCIA PARA ETIOPÍA
2012
En ligne sur http://www.staragon.com/revecap/revista/numeros/58/pdf/gamero_lassibille.pdf; International audience; Tomando como referencia Etiopía, este artículo investiga, en el marco de un modelo probit bivariante, cuáles son los factores que influyen en las probabilidades de que un niño trabaje o siga escolarizado. Los resultados muestran que el trabajo infantil desplaza efectivamente a la demanda de educación y sugieren que prohibir el trabajo infantil, para romper la competencia que se ejerce entre la educación y el empleo, podría perpetuar el nivel de pobreza de las generaciones futuras. Por otro lado, se analizan los factores de los que depende su satisfacción laboral, poniendo espec…

El deporte como medio de inserción social de los jóvenes de barrios desfavorecidos
2009
En este artículo realizamos una síntesis de la tesis doctoral �Inserción Juvenil y Actividad Física: una forma de intervención en el contexto de los barrios desfavorecidos� cuyo objetivo ha consistido en analizar el papel del deporte con colectivos socialmente desfavorecidos, en concreto con los jóvenes de barrios marginales. Con este fin hemos estructurado el texto en tres apartados: en primer lugar, presentamos los argumentos teóricos que sustentan la idea del deporte-inserción; en segundo lugar, detallamos los aspectos metodológicos que han guiado la investigación; y, por último, dedicamos un apartado al estudio de caso y las consideraciones finales.

Leisure, Social Capital and Life Turns in Deviant Youth,
2010
The production of social capital in a specific area of everyday life such as leisure & the different socio-cultural contexts it is experienced in, is a very interesting research issue, especially in the light of certain specific meanings of the notion of social capital, like Bourdieu’s or, more recently, Putnam’s. Nonetheless, this research issue is scarcely taken into consideration in Italy. Building briefly on the literature about the production of social capital in youth’s leisure contexts, this paper is going to present a research on the biographies of young people living in deviant contexts who decide to take a “turn” in their daily lives. In order to observe how the social capital pro…

Multiple traumas and resilience among street children in Haiti: Psychopathology of survival
