Key findings of the study
1. Social justice is predominantly read through a meritocratic narrative, more assertive among younger people, but tempered by recognition of the role of diplomas, money and relationships as factors in success.
2. When it comes to mental health, people are relatively free to speak out, especially to their families, while access to care is hampered by material obstacles and experiences of inequality that fuel mistrust.
3. Schools promise equal opportunities, but orientation and the transition to employment reveal weaknesses linked to information, concrete knowledge of professions and anticipated discrimination.
4. Lack of experience is the decisive threshold that slows down integration before the first opportunity arises, and makes the next step more accessible once it has been taken.
5. Sports and cultural activities are widely invested in, but economic and symbolic barriers such as codes, the way others look at them, and the feeling of legitimacy filter access to them. Nevertheless, young people feel largely legitimate in getting involved in a cause they feel strongly about.
