“Because of the pandemic”: reconfiguration of work and educational projects of young people from horticultural families of General Pueyrredón (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Abstract:

The study of the vital itineraries of young people, those of work and education, contemplates not only past experiences but also their putting into play in pursuit of their life plans through intermediate and alternative projects. This work proposes to investigate the re configuration of youth projects from the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and its conditioning (or not) in their life plans. The case of young people from horticultural families in the green belt of General Pueyrredón is taken, retaking a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews carried out in 2021. As main findings, it is found that the intermediate projects were modified, but not their vital plans. In addition, the suspension of certain intermediate projects compared to the start-up of some alternatives that had been considered previously.
