abstract: 'Youth unemployment figures include large numbers of full-time students,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yet student joblessness receives very little academic attention,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially at a qualitative level. Despite being relatively less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deleterious than youth unemployment more broadly, we show that student
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment remains an important site for the practice and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reinforcement of social inequality. Using a Bourdieusian framework to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyse interviews with 27 undergraduate students who have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unsuccessful in term-time job searching, we expose some of the limits to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the extent that social and cultural capital can be converted into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive employment outcomes. Importantly, the data reveal that it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(lack of) access to material and economic resources that is most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant in ensuring that both the experience of unemployment and,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concomitantly, the experience of university, in yet another way, remain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highly structured by social class. These divisions shape the imperative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and timing of the need to work, and also underpin nuances in respect of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
desires and needs in how students talk about their motivations for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
part-time work. These should be important considerations if
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy-makers want to create a genuinely meritocratic system or deliver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equitable psychological and material well-being.'
