SAVEGNAGO, Sabrina Dal Ongaro  y  CASTRO, Lúcia Rabello de. Opportunities and mobilities of young people in contexts of social precariousness. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.1, pp.1-26. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais202215e17485.

In this study, we looked at the situation of young people from popular classes on Rio de Janeiro, who live in contexts marked by uncertainty, lack of guarantees, and social precarity. We seek to comprehend how young people, moving between different spaces, deal with uncertainty and unpredictability and how they opportunize, in a precarious and unstable context, something that is good and has some value to them. A total of 51 youths participated in this research, students from two public municipal schools of Rio de Janeiro with ages between 14 and 16. Three discussion groups took place in the format of workshops. It was possible to observe situations in which young people, even when inserted in uncertain and unfavorable contexts in terms of guarantees and objective opportunities, still opportunize for themselves the conditions to be and to do what they want.

Palabras clave : youth; mobility; opportunity.
