Romantic Relationships and the Transition to Work

In this chapter, the authors address intersections between romantic relationship factors and the transition to work experience. They briefly summarize the nature of romantic relationships during emerging adulthood and then review research conducted around the world, which reveals that these two aspects of a person’s life are closely intertwined during emerging adulthood. They describe the ways romantic relationship development and career development have been found to influence each other and the concerns that many emerging adults have about balancing their goals in these two areas of life. Drawing on this literature, they make several recommendations for practitioners who are assisting emerging adults to make an optimal transition to work in the context of their romantic relationships. Finally, the authors use a case study, drawn from research conducted by the first author, to illustrate how the principles discussed in this review can manifest in the lives of one emerging adult couple.

Transitions from Care to Work for Vulnerable Young People in Spain, England, and Argentina

This chapter describes different experiences of social and labor market inclusion through socio-educational action for a specific group of vulnerable young people from Spain, England, and Argentina—namely care leavers. The chapter explores these interventions from the perspective of several research studies that contribute important information to evaluating the effects and social impact. Along with different models of intervention, reference is made to the legislative and social policy changes and the organization of resources that have taken place in the three countries to improve the transition to work for care-experienced young people. In this way, experiences, theory and research are considered an interactive system that in recent decades has managed to modify complex realities of people and collectives. This has contributed to an emerging and shared system that turns transitions to the world of work for vulnerable young people into a commitment to transforming societies.
