Open-access Youth and Intersectionality: Engaging with Lélia Gonzalez

Intersectionality highlights how different forms of oppression interact, affecting gender, race, class, and other social identities. This study examines the transition between school and work among Brazilian youth, using data from the Ibero-American Youth Research (ages 15-29) and the contributions of Lélia Gonzalez. The methodology combines a quantitative-qualitative approach and Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) of social categories across four age groups. The results indicate that the intersectional approach, grounded in Gonzalez’s Black feminism, enhances the understanding of youth trajectories, providing new epistemological lenses and adding complexity to the analysis of these experiences.
