Mobility in youth transitions at the start of the 21st century - from consuming mobility to im/mobile futures?

Ewa Krzaklewska

Chapter 5 in Research Handbook on Transitions into Adulthood, 2024, pp 67-78 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter will look at how youth research has tried to make sense of geographical movement in relation to transitions to adulthood. While mobility has never been obsolete to transitions, in the recent scholarship, the mobility has become an ingrained element of studying youth transitions, leading most of all to the thematic shift and heightened attention to spatial movement. I will look at mobility threefold: as a resource in transitions, a liminal space of development and an opportunity to celebrate youth. I will also have a final look at the normative shifts in relation mobility, and the creation of a mobility culture where the participation in mobility becomes an ingrained element of the youth phase of life. Nonetheless, consumption of mobility has been put into question both by the recent epidemiological crisis and the ongoing climate change.
