Work plays an important role in the lives of both societies and individuals. It serves as both a means for&#x0D;social integration and a source of identity, notwithstanding historical contexts marked by precarious&#x0D;employment. Whereas much international research and many comparative studies have addressed&#x0D;young people’s relationship to work, the existing literature tends to paint a rather uniform picture of&#x0D;youth. This article begins with a focus on the unique aspects of the relationship to work among vulnerable&#x0D;youth, which leads to an exploration of the processes by which these individuals develop agency.&#x0D;Coupled with inductive qualitative analysis, the systematic international perspective provided by&#x0D;interviews conducted with vulnerable youth (dropouts, immigrants, Indigenous persons, rural residents,&#x0D;and overqualified individuals) in Quebec and France shows that labour market participation not only&#x0D;remains important to these youth but constitutes a hub around which their lives acquire structure and&#x0D;meaning. They experience inactivity very negatively and express strong criticism of social assistance.&#x0D;Although vulnerable youth are acutely affected by material insecurity and often cite the desire to earn&#x0D;money as a reason for working, financial considerations remain complex by involving a variety of&#x0D;dimensions. Finally, despite the hardships they experience, young people tend to describe the labour&#x0D;market in pragmatic and optimistic terms.
