Madrid, October 24, 2023 This book presents the results of the analysis of the data collected in the survey module carried out by the CIS with the title Biographies of Emancipation, Generations and Social Change in Spain. This module was designed to collect retrospective information with the aim of studying life trajectories in youth, starting from the generations of men and women aged 18 and over, placing special interest in the emancipation process. All this, in a context of limited generational data on youth and their emancipation processes. Emancipation has been considered in this study as a sum of processes that involve different dimensions, among which the departure or departures from the parental home are one more event within a complex "path." The results obtained confirm empirical evidence found in other studies and account for also novel aspects. The study also covers a wide range of generations, very different from each other, who have undergone profound social changes in their trajectories towards adulthood. This places us in a new context from which to resume the debate on emancipation in Spain. It should be noted that the most important changes are concentrated between the generations born until 1959 and those born after. The youth transitions of the most recent generations show a clear trend towards greater complexity, with a greater presence of non-linear and reversible paths. At the same time, we have found evidence that the trajectories of older generations were not as linear as previous studies have suggested. This work also provides solid evidence that it is women who have led the most notable changes. Among them, the changes that have occurred between the oldest and youngest generations are much greater than among men.

Trajectories 8 Author: Mª Ángeles Durán When he accepted the invitation to write his intellectual autobiography, he did not imagine it would be so difficult. Self-censorship has cost him interruptions, barriers that he was not able to cross. How far does the right to speak about oneself and others go? Alone with his own memory, he has relived moments of anguish and splendor. He received his first notions of the world through stories and prayers; His youth was marked by the death of his father and his incorporation into a University that was boiling with desire for change; She later assumed the purpose of renewing science, opening a space for women in all fields of knowledge; has known the gall and honey of academic life; He fondly remembers his intellectual and emotional bridges with colleagues and institutions in Europe, the United States and Latin America. The story closes with the fatigue of the passage of time and a nod to hope; If the extension were lenient, how would he live the rest of his life? Accompanies the autobiography with a selection of publications on inequality, the social situation of women, unpaid work, urban planning, the renewal of science and care. They are only a small portion of his work, but they invite the reader to continue on their own. María Ángeles Durán received the National Prize for Sociology and Political Science in 2018, an award granted by the Center for Sociological Research as "recognition of an outstanding scientific career in the field of sociology."
