“…The enduring situation of young people in Serbia relying highly on family resources (material, cultural, social) for housing, employment, transition to parenthood, etc., has been supported by the state policy mechanisms producing a combination of sub-protective and post-socialist transitional regime (Walther et al 2009). The similar situation of high reliance on family resources for finances and housing, transition to employment and to parenthood, has also been found in other Balkan countries (Tomić-Koludrović, Leburić, 2001;Kovacheva, 2004;Ule, Kuhar, 2008). This situation is making expected detraditionalisation and individualisation of young people's life-trajectories problematic (Tomanović, Ignjatović, 2010).…”

“…Detraditionalisation of life course trajectories related to transitions has been contested by numerous studies, providing evidence that individualisation is fundamentally constrained by social, cultural and structural forces (Roberts et al, 1994;Furlong, Cartmel, 1997;Evans, 2002;Cote, 2002;Bynner, 2005;Brannen, Nielsen, 2005). Detraditionalisation and individualisation of young people's biographies is highly problematic when there exists a strong dependence on family resources (Biggart, Kovacheva, 2006), both material and psychological, which is particularly prominent in southern European post-socialist countries with subprotective transitional regimes (Tomić-Koludrović, Leburić, 2001;Kovacheva, 2004;Tomanović, Ignjatović, 2006a;Ule, Kuhar, 2008;Tomanović, Ignjatović, 2010).…”

“…Detraditionalisation of young people's biographies has also been contested by findings on normative models of invented adulthood, which point to the strong ----heteronormative model of "settling down" -getting married and having children by the age of 35 (Thomson, Holland, 2002;Thomson et al 2004;Ule, Kuhar, 2008;Tomanović, 2010).…”

The paper deals with transition to adulthood of young people in Serbia through analysis of findings of the two surveys from 2003 and 2011. The aims are to explore the changes in pace, as well as in transitional trajectories that could indicate their destandardisation and individualisation. Some of the debatable issues related to the transition to adulthood approach are presented in the framework and discussed further in relation to the results of the analysis in the concluding section. The findings indicate that there exists some acceleration in the pace of transition, mainly due to increased financial independence of young people. The trajectories, however, are still standardised, while transition is postponed and prolonged. The comparative analyses of some features of young people’s transitions to adulthood in the Balkans led to the conclusion that an alternative conceptualization is needed

“…It turned out that a large proportion of parents maintained their decision-making power in postadolescence even in personal issues, such as the girls' choice of haircut . Also the study of factors of (also delayed) childbearing among young people in Slovenia sets out the feeling of psychical immaturity as an important reason to postpone having a child (i.e., some of the respondents, aged 23-33, were identifying themselves as children; Ule and Kuhar 2008).…”

The study examines the relationship between parental and adolescents' perceptions of (communicative) ways of parental power assertion in situations challenging parental authority (dialogical communication, parental reminder, nonreciprocal communication), the perceived most probable outcomes of these situations, and attitudes toward ideal outcomes (adolescent's compliance, agreement, parental tolerance, adolescent's self-responsibility, adolescent's disobedience). The sample consisted of 194 firstborn children aged 11 to 18 and both of their parents living in Slovenia. The study shows that parents and their preferences continue to be the driving force behind the rules within the family while children have little maneuvering space regarding their parents' demands, but they develop different forms of compliance, from internalized obedience to solely superficial and provisional compliance.Résumé Le but de la présente étude est d'examiner le rapport entre les perceptions des parents et des adolescents concernant les techniques d'affirmation du pouvoir parental lors des situations, dans lesquelles l'autorité parentale est défiée (communication dialogique, rappel parental, communication non réciproque), les résultats perçus comme les plus probables, ainsi que les attitudes envers les résultats idéaux (acceptation de la part de l'adolescent, accord, tolérance parentale, auto-responsabilité de l'adolescent, désobéissance de l'adolescent). Notre échantillon se compose de 194 enfants premiers-nés, âgés de 11 à 18 ans, dont les deux parents résident en Slovénie. L'étude montre que les parents et leurs préférences restent la force motrice derrière les règles existant au sein de la famille. Par ailleurs, les enfants ont une marge de manoeuvre étroite en ce qui concerne les exigences de leurs parents, mais ils développent des formes variées d'acceptation, allant de l'obéissance intériorisée, jusqu'à l'acceptation purement superficielle et provisoire.

“…2 60 percent of complaints are lodged via e-mail, 20 percent over the telephone and 20 percent are written down in the book of praise and complaints at stations (Uršič, 2011). 3 While this behaviour may sound odd in other cultures, it reflects the importance of close family ties in Slovenia (Ule and Kuhar, 2008). 4 For Stauss and Seidel (2004: 103), tangible compensation entails exchange and/or repair; whereas intangible compensation refers to an explanation or apology.…”
