Less attention has been paid, however, to young beneficiaries’ experiences of cash transfers and the contextualised and differentiated impacts on their lives at the micro-level. Based on a qualitative study of young recipients of Brazil's Bolsa Família programme, this article explores the factors that shape young people's schooling trajectories. The article demonstrates the complexity of young people's lives vis-à-vis the CCT policy model; particularly, how their trajectories do not conform to its linear logic, but rather reflect a more complex interaction of gender norms and social and economic inequalities. The tension between the linearity of the policy model and these differentiated and gendered trajectories in turn complicates how young people navigate the transition to social adulthood, by marking out ‘problematic’ vs ‘successful’ transitions and trajectories. date: 2022-01-01 date_type: published publisher: SAGE Publications official_url: https://doi.org/10.1177/02610183221137818 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1997338 doi: 10.1177/02610183221137818 lyricists_name: Jones, Hayley lyricists_id: HJONE45 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Critical Social Policy citation: Jones, H; (2022) Young people's schooling trajectories and transitions to social adulthood in the context of Brazil's Bolsa Família.
