Abstract

Are disengagement risks lower when youths are surrounded by others with similar risk traits? Applying theoretical perspectives of belonging and residential context, this study examines interactional effects between individual and structural risk factors for youth-disengagement. From registry data of 590,085 Norwegians aged 16–24, the study finds less disengagement among youths in municipalities where an above-average rate of individuals shared individual risk-traits of immigrant background, young parenthood, and not completing high school. Youths with parents on social welfare had an increased risk of disengagement in municipalities with above average rates of people on social welfare. Sex-stratified analysis reveals that men and women benefit from belonging to different risk-groups. In challenging the prevailing segmented approach to individual and structural risk factors for youth-disengagement, the findings demonstrate the need for continued examination of gender, belonging and residential context as theoretical perspectives.

归属感的重要性：青年脱离接触的个人和结构性风险因素之间的相互作用

当青少年被具有相似风险特征的人包围时，脱离接触的风险会降低吗？本研究运用归属感和居住环境的理论视角，探讨了青少年脱离接触的个体风险因素和结构性风险因素之间的相互作用。从59085名年龄在16-24岁之间的挪威人的登记数据来看，研究发现，在移民背景、年轻父母和未完成高中学业等个人风险高于平均水平的城市，年轻人的脱离接触程度较低。在社会福利人口比例高于平均水平的城市，父母靠社会福利生活的青少年脱离社会的风险更高。性别分层分析显示，男性和女性因属于不同的风险群体而受益。在挑战目前对青年脱离社会的个人和结构性风险因素的分割方法时，研究结果表明，需要从理论角度继续研究性别、归属感和居住环境。
