In this study, the processes of transition to adulthood of early school leavers were analysed with special emphasis on the heterogeneity of situations that arise in this group. A quantitative methodology has been used including data collection via questionnaires with a total sample of 580 participants (306 women and 274 men) in the age range 26–28. Firstly, we have analysed the influence of educational level and gender in emancipation, employment, and parenting processes. Secondly, seven models of transition were identified based on the combination of main markers of transition to adulthood. Results showed the strong impact of educational level and gender on youth transitions, and the great vulnerability of youth with a low educational level specifically in employment and being these difficulties greater for women.

早期离开学校和过渡到成年：西班牙地中海地区的案例研究

在这项研究中，分析了早期离校生向成年过渡的过程，特别强调了这一群体中出现的情况的异质性。已使用定量方法，包括通过问卷收集数据，共有 580 名参与者（306 名女性和 274 名男性）样本，年龄在 26-28 岁之间。首先，我们分析了教育水平和性别对解放、就业和养育过程的影响。其次，根据过渡到成年的主要标志物的组合，确定了七种过渡模式。结果表明，受教育程度和性别对青年转型的影响很大，而受教育程度低的青年特别是在就业方面很容易受到影响，而且这些困难对女性来说更大。
