By studying the moral orders that young Finnish adults (aged 18–30) attach to geographical mobility, this article reveals previously neglected relationships between aspiration and mobility. The 40 young adult interviewees are living in the midst of Finnish political debates about youth aspiration, which emphasise geographical rather than social mobility as a way to enhance employability and demonstrate aspiration. We argue that young people themselves use the discourse of geographical mobility by leaning on morally ordered social positionings which tend to be classed and gendered. They position themselves on a moral map of Finnish society, and in doing so they work and rework the social order and social hierarchies among young adults. The article suggests that notions of global and domestic mobility might best be grasped by focusing on the moral orders of aspiration that young adults also attach to intimate life.

道德流动秩序:芬兰的青年志向和“做人”社会地位
通过研究芬兰年轻人(18-30岁)对地域流动性的道德秩序,本文揭示了志向与流动性之间先前被忽视的关系。40名年轻的成年受访者生活在芬兰关于青年志向的政治辩论中,该辩论强调地理而不是社会流动性,以此来提高就业能力和展现志向。我们认为,年轻人自己通过依靠道德上有序的社会定位来利用地理流动性的话语,而社会定位往往是按阶级划分和性别划分的。他们将自己定位在芬兰社会的道德地图上,并以此工作和改造年轻人的社会秩序和社会等级制度。
