The article is based on a qualitative study covering 32 youths from the age of 18 to 25 who did not manage a stable transition from school to the German labor market. All of them, albeit to different degrees and for different reasons, are running the risk of long‐term exclusion from the sphere of work and vocational training measures as well as public support structures. Based on multiple narrative interviews with the young persons participating in the study, qualitative case reconstructions were conducted concerning their social background, socialization, and how their biographies developed. This contribution specifically sheds light on the relevance of the genesis of autonomy for the individual transition into the world of work and further education. The findings are presented as risk factors hampering the genesis of autonomy in the process of socialization, namely, (a) dysfunctional parent–child relationship and (b) persistence of traditionalism. The findings point not only to the high relevance of autonomy for managing a stable transition but also imply that there are further factors leading to more disconnectedness in addition to a broad range of factors known from the existing literature. From our perspective, longer processes of socialization, i.e., subject formation processes, significantly contribute to a more nuanced understanding of this phenomenon.

自治在向工作世界过渡中的作用

这篇文章基于一项定性研究，该研究涵盖了 32 名 18 至 25 岁的青年，他们未能从学校稳定地过渡到德国劳动力市场。所有这些人，尽管程度不同，出于不同的原因，都面临着长期被排除在工作和职业培训措施以及公共支持结构之外的风险。基于对参与研究的年轻人的多次叙述性访谈，对他们的社会背景、社会化以及他们的传记如何发展进行了定性案例重建。这一贡献特别阐明了自主性的起源与个人过渡到工作世界和继续教育的相关性。研究结果被认为是阻碍社会化过程中自主权产生的风险因素，即（a）功能失调的亲子关系和（b）传统主义的持续存在。研究结果不仅指出自治与管理稳定过渡的高度相关性，而且还暗示除了现有文献中已知的广泛因素外，还有其他因素导致更多的脱节。从我们的角度来看，较长的社会化过程，即主体形成过程，有助于更细致地理解这一现象。研究结果不仅指出自治与管理稳定过渡的高度相关性，而且还暗示除了现有文献中已知的广泛因素外，还有其他因素导致更多的脱节。从我们的角度来看，较长的社会化过程，即主体形成过程，有助于更细致地理解这一现象。研究结果不仅指出自治与管理稳定过渡的高度相关性，而且还暗示除了现有文献中已知的广泛因素外，还有其他因素导致更多的脱节。从我们的角度来看，较长的社会化过程，即主体形成过程，有助于更细致地理解这一现象。
