Transitions to adulthood in present-day Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia

Obiettivo

Eight research teams from two INTAS member countries (Britain and Germany) and three NIS (Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia) will collaborate in re-analysing existing data, and in conducting new research among 25 to 30 year olds in two regions in each of the participating NIS. Most of the researchers in the NIS will themselves be young adults aged fewer than 35. The project will examine how the macro changes that are still in process in the transition countries are impacting upon:

Young people's ability to make school to work and family/housing transitions.
Their patterns of consumption and uses of leisure, and their types and levels of civic participation and political proclivities.
Differences between the countries, regions and socio-demographic groups.

Members of all the teams will collaborate in analysing the findings. These will be added to evidence from first wave studies of young people in the NIS to yield a more comprehensive understanding of the positions of young people in the transition countries, and, in particular:

How these are changing over time.
Whether young people's situations and attitudes are being re-institutionalised and becoming less chaotic.
Whether clearer differences are appearing between countries, between regions within countries, and between socio-demographic groups within regions.

The project will also examine the extent to which old advantaged groups are being reproduced or, alternatively, the ways in which wholly new advantaged and disadvantaged groups are being created.
The project will lead to recommendations on education, labour market and housing policies, and ways of fostering public life, so that, despite their countries' continuing economic difficulties, young people in the NIS will be able to make life stage transitions into acceptable forms of adulthood and contribute positively to the macro transformation processes in their societies.
