Anställningsbarhet bland unga vuxna - en kvalitativ studie om upplevd anställning

Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to investigate how young adults view their own employability and to see if there was a connection between their view and their social background. The method used in the thesis is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach. The interviews included were of semi-structured kind. The main result is that respondents in the thesis expressed similar views on their perceived employability regarding commitment and energy at work, networking and contacts and job discrimination but there were some distinctions noted regarding their view on education and working life experience. The respondents from working class backgrounds tended to focus more on education than the respondents from middle class/upper middle class backgrounds. The respondents from middle class/ upper middle class backgrounds tended to focus more on working life experience.
