Abstract	"At the transition from school to work, parental support plays a salient role in young people's educational and occupational orientation process (EOOP). However, there is still comparatively little knowledge about how parental involvement shapes adolescents' navigationthrough this process over time. This paper focuses on the school-to-work-transition of young people who describe their parents as being little involved in their EOOP. This group is particularly at risk and deserves specific attention. We analyse data from a five-year qualitative longitudinal study and employ a case history approach. Initial interviews were conducted with 14-year-old respondents at the end of compulsory schooling, with annual follow-up interviews. The results show that young people who describe their parents as being minimally involved in this transition are nevertheless capable of pursuing a satisfying career. However, low parental involvement can contribute to problematic developmental trajectories when combined with high parental expectations that are not matched by appropriate support. Therefore, low parental involvement is not necessarily connected to adverse outcomes in young people's school-to-work transition. Resources outside the family can make a substantial difference. Young people's agency and their flexibility in seising opportunities are also key factors in shaping their educational and occupational pathways." The study refers to the period 2017-2022 (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
