Heather tiene 25 años. Madres y familias diversas en la literatura para primeros lectores (1990-2015)
2019
[EN] In 1989 was published the first edition of Heather has two mommies , that is considered the first children’s book of great diffusion about lesbian mothers. In Spain it was translated in 2003 under the title Paula tiene dos mamás. Since then, we have seen various legislative and social changes that have led to the generalization of this type of literature, although limited in most cases to some family and educational environments. On the other hand, the authors’ initial intention (to provide the sons and daughters of lesbian women with positive references of their own family models) has been complemented with other publications addressed to all the children from an inclusive and normali…
The Effect of Overeducation on Job Content Innovation and Career-Enhancing Strategies Among Young Spanish Employees
2009
The increase of education in younger people and the relative scarcity of qualified jobs available for them make the overeducation of young workers a social issue. We explored the relationships between overeducation and extra-role behaviors (job content innovation and career-enhancing strategies) as well as the direct and moderating role of personal initiative and intrinsic work values in these relationships. We collected data from a sample of 638 young Spanish employees. As expected, there were negative relationships between overeducation and content innovation and career-enhancing strategies. Personal initiative and intrinsic work values related positively to extra-role behaviors. Moreove…
L'inflation scolaire : Les désillusions de la méritocratie
2006
06001 - Il existe une édition japonaise, parue en décembre 2007, avec préface inédite.; « Les études, plus on fait, mieux on se porte ». Voici ce qu'on pourrait lire dans le Dictionnaire des idées reçues contemporaines à l'entrée « Ecole ». Cette conviction partagée est-elle encore pertinente ? On peut en douter. Pour les individus d'abord, dont le mérite ne se trouve pas nécessairement mieux reconnu, ni l'hérédité sociale mieux conjurée, parce qu'ils seront restés plus longtemps sur les bancs de l'école. Pour la société ensuite, car la distribution des places et des emplois ne se fait pas forcément de manière plus pertinente quand elle s'appuie sur les seuls diplômes délivrés par l'école. …

Philosophical and Youth-Studies Perspectives on the Participation Imperative
2020
In this article we analyse the concept of participation. The analysis is informed by both quantitative and qualitative youth studies conducted in Finland. To analyse different aspects of participation special emphasis is placed on the migrant young seeking asylum. Young can be seen as sometimes engaged and disengaged from the existing forms of participating. The results of the youth studies also show that there seems to be a gap between representative democracy and the peer-group-based forms of participation of the young. To analyse in detail how this gap can be understood, the theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth is used to pinpoint different arenas of participation. Honneth’s l…

Understanding youth chronic poverty in South of Europe
2010
This paper investigates chronic poverty among the youth in Southern Europe, which is characterized by very high levels of persistent poverty, and welfare systems which are unable to smooth disparities. The main aim is to investigate on how longitudinal poverty differs in socio-demographic and economic characteristics among the Mediterranean youth. The intensity of poverty over time is measured by a new longitudinal poverty index based on the rationale of cumulative hardship. We tested the effects of many covariates on the incidence and intensity of chronic poverty, controlling for main socio-demographic and economic characteristics, using a ZINB model. The peculiar mix between the lack of e…
Pathways to higher education for first and second generation immigrants in France, Switzerland and Canada: how educational tracks and aspirations mat…
2014
Despite their different histories as countries of immigration, Switzerland, France and Canada all have a sizeable immigrant population, some of which do experience obstacles in their educational and professional careers. However, both access rates of immigrant students as well as institutional routes to higher education vary remarkably between the three countries. On the one hand, France and Switzerland offer both academic and vocational routes to higher education, whereas academic routes prevail in Canada. On the other hand, immigrant students are underrepresented in Swiss and French higher education, while they generally seem to be much more successful in Canada. In this paper we wish to …
The vocationalisation of university programmes in France: its consequences for employability and mobility
2011
In the last three decades, French Universities have offered an increasing number of vocational programmes. More recently, the introduction of vocational Bachelors in 1999 was designed to extend the 'vocationalisation' of French Universities at the Bachelor Level. Using a French follow-up survey on transition from school/ university to work, called "Génération 2004", our paper show that vocational higher education graduates from 2004 cohort entered the labour market in better conditions than their predecessors (from 2010 cohort). In addition, compared with graduates from shorter higher education courses, job opportunities for vocational Bachelor graduates tended to be more stable and better …
Health promotion profile of youth sports clubs in Finland: club officials' and coaches' perceptions.
2009
SUMMARY The purpose of this article is to examine the current health promotion orientation of youth sports clubs in Finland in view of the standards created previously for the health promoting sports club (HPSC). Ninety-seven youth sports clubs participated, and 273 sports club officials and 240 coaches answered the questionnaires. To describe clubs health promotion orientations, an HPSC index was created. The HPSC index was formulated on sub-indices by factor analysis. The sub-indices were: policy, ideology, practice and environment indexes. The results indicate that youth sports clubs are fairly health promoting in general. On average, the clubs fulfilled 12 standards for HPSC out of 22. …
