ALMEIDA, Wilson Mesquita de  and  JARDIM, Fabiana Augusta Alves. Are there new nexus between school, youth and work? Perspectives from the recent expansion of higher education system in Brazil. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.47, pp.63-85. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv22n47.063.

We investigate the recent process of expansion of Brazilian higher education level in the last two decades aiming to understand the new forms that it has assumed as well as its relations to labor market (that has changed intensely within this period of time). Considering the general context of transformation both in Brazilian public policies and their effects on socioeconomic inequalities, our effort is to map the new links between higher level education and work. We move on to examine the trajectories of young social disadvantaged students, both in public and for-profit institutions, unfolding consequences to understand the field of possibilities that structures youth experience nowadays.
