Abstract

The chapter investigates agency among young people who have lived in different forms of alternative care and transitioned to independent life in two regions of the Russian Arctic. The authors analyse the future expectations and orientations of young care leavers, relying on the concept of “subjective agency”, the self-understanding these young adults possess about their ability at a given moment to influence their own futures. The study discusses different-level factors, all of which impact subjective agency, such as social support systems (macro-level), regional infrastructures (meso-level) and the everyday interactions of young people (micro-level). The chapter concludes that the agency of the young adults in this study is restricted in many ways by external factors. On the other hand, it is found that support from significant adults can facilitate the self-understanding of young care leavers of their own ability to influence the course of their lives.

规划未来
本章调查了在俄罗斯北极的两个地区生活在不同形式的替代护理中并过渡到独立生活的年轻人之间的代理。作者根据“主观代理”的概念,分析了年轻的护理离开者对未来的期望和取向,这些年轻人对自己在特定时刻影响自己未来的能力的自我理解。研究讨论了影响主观能动性的不同层面的因素,如社会支持系统(宏观层面)、区域基础设施(中观层面)和年轻人的日常互动(微观层面)。本章的结论是,在本研究中,年轻人的代理在许多方面受到外部因素的限制。另一方面,研究发现来自重要成人的支持可以促进年轻的照顾离开者对自己影响其生活进程的能力的自我理解。
