Youth and Young Adulthood: Transitions in the 2nd and 3rd decade of life

2nd International Conference on Transitions in Youth and Young Adulthood TREE, Seminar für Soziologie.

The conference is conceived as a platform for scientific exchange among researchers working with the TREE data or with other longitudinal survey data covering youth and young adulthood.

Beyond school‐to‐work transitions, the conference aims at exploring further dimensions of transition, e.g. leaving the parental home, family formation, health issues, values and attitudes, well‐being, and satisfaction. Cross‐domain effects between the school‐to‐work dimension and other dimensions of transition during the 2nd and 3rd decade of the life course are of particular interest.

We are happy to welcome as keynote speakers:

- Emer Smyth (The Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin): “School factors and the transition to higher education”

- Heike Solga (WZB Berlin Social Research Center & College for Interdisciplinary Educational Research): “'Age' as forgotten social category in school-to-work transition research”

- John Bynner (University of London): “Two track youth: The precarious youth life course”
