Sosiaalinen media ja sosiaalinen tausta teini-ikäisten nuorten kulutusasenteiden selittäjinä

2020

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme sosiaalisen median vaikuttajien seuraamisen, kaveripaineen ja sosiodemografisten muuttujien yhteyttä nuorten kulutusasenteisiin. Tutkimus pohjautuu kuluttajaksi sosiaalistumisen teorioihin sosiaalisen taustan ja muuttuvan mediavaikuttamisen kontekstissa. Tutkimusaineistona käytetään 800:lle 15-19-vuotiaalle nuorelle tehtyä kyselytutkimusta. Aineisto on analysoitu rakenneyhtälömallinnuksella.

In this study, we examine the prevalence of income and career concerns among emerging adults in three different welfare states during COVID-19: Finland ( n = 309), Sweden ( n = 324), and the United Kingdom ( n = 343).

Our results also suggest that income concerns were associated with one’s current financial situation, future financi…

2018

This study examined the role of welfare services in the participative citizenship of young people under 30 years of age outside the labour market. Thematic content analysis of the government’s white papers regarding participation policies, as well as participatory action research projects in two Finnish towns, were used to identify factors that enable or hinder participation for this group of service users. The paradigm of participation was critically examined with reference to the theoretical framework of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno’s “dialectic of Enlightenment”, which proposes the parallel existence of the promise and the deception of Enlightenment. The results indicated that user …

Una más de la familia. Au pairs atrapadas entre el capital humano y la economía moral

2018

In contemporary societies we are witnessing an expansion of the messages of human capital.

In the present text we approach the discourses of young women who came out as au pairs. The characteristics of this figure place it in a space halfway …
