This article examines social resilience to the economic crisis and recession across three ‘generational cohorts’ of Irish people, using a mixed biographical life course approach. Drawing on narrative interviews and individual lifelines conducted as part of a cross-national European study, we describe and explain how age-differentiated lives and times intersected with ill-timed transitions and patterns of inter-generational relations, leading to variations in resilient future orientations. Our analysis yields three key findings. First, failed expectations for intra-generational social mobility, combined with inter-generational obligations, gave rise to negative future orientations amongst those in mid-life. Second, the crisis created multiple negative life changes that compounded the accumulated costs of poorly timed transitions and adverse experiences within biographies. The effect of this varied by generational cohort, life course stage (with its implications for inter-generational obligations), gender and social class. Third, both life course stage and biographical experience affected peoples’ orientations towards the future, with implications for their resilience.

危机、衰退和社会复原力:生命历程的传记分析

本文采用混合传记式生命历程方法,考察了爱尔兰人三个“世代队列”对经济危机和衰退的社会适应力。借鉴作为跨国欧洲研究的一部分进行的叙事访谈和个人生命线,我们描述并解释了年龄差异化的生活和时代如何与不合时宜的过渡和代际关系模式相交,导致弹性未来方向的变化. 我们的分析得出了三个主要发现。首先,对代内社会流动性的预期失败,再加上代际义务,导致中年人对未来的消极取向。第二,这场危机造成了多重负面的生活变化,加剧了不合时宜的过渡和传记中的不利经历的累积成本。这种影响因代际队列、生命历程阶段(及其对代际义务的影响)、性别和社会阶层而异。第三,生命历程阶段和传记经历都会影响人们对未来的定位,从而影响他们的适应力。
