¿SIGUEN VIGENTES LOS MODELOS TEÓRICOS CLÁSICOS DE LA INSERCIÓN LABORAL JUVENIL?

The validity of any theory depends on its hypothesis resisting the passage of time and empirical evidence beyond the time they were raised. In this paper an effort is made to contrast the classical theories of labor insertion, trying to validate them again, but with more recent data, for the Spanish context and focusing attention on the young population of our country between 2006 and 2014 (the entire period that goes from the dawn of the economic crisis - before 2007 - until 2014, when the Spanish economy seemed to improve). With data from different sources (theoretical and statistical) we have tried to confirm or not the current approach of such classical theoretical approaches, concluding that, with nuances of the chosen temporal context, many of the hypotheses of these theories are still useful for the analysis, the interpretation and explanation of the labor insertion of young people in Spain.
