Abstract

Central Java is one of provinces that is progressive in developing its industries, especially in manufacturing. However, the unemployment rate among youth in this province turns out to be considerably high. The high number of unemployment rates and low participation in the labor market among youth are caused by various factors. One of them is the gap between human resources and demand in the labor market. The gap in education, skills, and access to information triggering the condition whereas youth are not counted to involve in the labor market. This gap certainly emerged based on the social class differences inherent in each young people. In addition, gender differences also affect opportunities and freedom in choosing a job. This research uses qualitative methods with the process of observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussion as techniques for data collecting. Through the selection of two female and two male informants (purposive sampling), this research concludes that social class factors, gender, and changing contexts, especially in the conditions of Labor Market Flexibility (LMF) became the main factors in shaping and influencing the transition process related to future aspirations of youth. The application of neoliberalism and Labor Market Flexibility perpetuates the social reproduction based on class and gender which enables social gaps to increase in the future. This condition is predicted to marginalize poor and vulnerable young people even more

Abstract

Post-Fordism is a relevant context in framing the issue of school to work transition faced by the young generation. In this era, the labor market not only requires energy, but also more specific skills. In addition, rapid and massive social change in the Post-Fordism era requires young people to compete at the local, national and global level. On the other hand, young people are faced with the fact that the distribution of capital has never been equally distributed in every social space. Thus, mobility is one of the important strategies for young generation as an effort to accumulate cultural, social, economic and symbolic capital. This study uses qualitative methods with observation and in-depth interviews as data collection techniques. Through the narratives of 4 young women in Central Java, this study concludes that they must reflexively strategize under particular conditions where social inequality is manifested in the spatial dimension, while at the same time intersects with gender and social class. From family support and opportunities for educational scholarships, two young women utilize mobilities to respond social change towards a new economy amid limited amount of capital accumulation. Two other young women had to to lose their opportunity to achieve upward class mobility. Thus structural and cultural obstacles as women and social class, make it difficult for two young women to upgrade their own capital; thus social change towards Post-Fordism tends to be a threat rather than an opportunity.
