Description

The theoretical part of this qualitative study summarizes the results of international research on the causes and effects of early school leaving. The empirical part presents the empirical results obtained from 25 qualitative interviews. The data was evaluated using Pierre Bourdieu's educational sociology theory. With regard to the coping strategies of young people after dropping out of school, a preliminary habitus typology emerged, which is further differentiated in the longitudinal study. The results underscore the importance of social capital (Bourdieu) for educational trajectories.
