SummaryBased on the observation of a transformation in the "life entry" model and in conditions of access to adulthood, and complemented by empirical research, this paper proposes an analytical framework of the form today's youth is taking. Taking into account the precariousness of lifestyles of a large part of new young adults, the idea is put forward that youth is undergoing a transformation from social time to social space. A "precarious social space" made up of properties and marked by tensions characterizes the present moment in this process of change, a space within which can be identified six life strategies, that is, a typology of the main ways of coming to terms with the available resources whith this space.
