The article analyzes how the young unemployed
grapple with the experience of unemployment and
how it influences the building of their identity. Since
in the society of work, employment stands for the
youth’s identity centre, the experience of unemployment
represents a risky situation for an individual. The author
deals with the question of how social pedagogy can offer
the possibility to form a ‘non-professionally-oriented
life course’, where the young can try out new forms of
social integration.
