20.500.12556/RUL-169156 Intersectional inequalities in (trans)national education-to-work transitions the case of becoming welfare professionals This paper examines intersectional inequalities in the process of (trans)national education-to-work transitions in state-regulated welfare professions. It focuses on generations who were entering the Slovenian or EU-wide labour market in the context of the global economic crisis and austerity, which destabilised the traditional entry routes into these professions and stimulated intra-EU migration. The study is based on the analysis of secondary data and interviews with 66 people at various stages of transition, with diverse social and migration status, age, gender and other characteristics. It draws on life-course theory to examine what intersectional inequalities emerge in the process of education-to-work transitions, and how these shape the precarity of diverse individuals in their attempts to (re)integrate on a professional labour market in Slovenia or other EU countries. The paper offers an innovative intersectionally sensitive life-course approach to studying intersectional inequalities in education-to-work transitions, which goes beyond static and standard categories of difference. It exposes how the category of age intersects with other categories across time, place, and various transitional domains, creating significant class, gender, and migration lags that hinder present and future employment and social security, and inform particular coping and exit strategies. intersectional inequalities adult education education-to-work transitions precarity Slovenia izobraževanje odraslih izobraževanje intersekcijske neenakosti trg dela prekarnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-05-15 13:17:09 2025-05-15 13:17:15 2026-05-25 13:42:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 678–693 no. 6 Vol. 44 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 374.7 1464-519X 10.1080/02601370.2025.2489507 235888643 Intersectional_inequalities_in__trans_national_education-to-work_transitions__the_case_of_becoming_welfare_professionals.pdf Intersectional_inequalities_in__trans_national_education-to-work_transitions__the_case_of_becoming_welfare_professionals.pdf 1 F1D6C661277D5020F722E0242B332097 5543e92353d60c8afb887618fdd3b851add78eeb6cfcc02dbc2eb70bc1203719 59aa1b85-d42d-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223145 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02601370.2025.2489507 0 ef2ada80-317c-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210351 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
