Abstract

The career paths of individuals have for a very long time been characterised on the one hand by their linearity and stability, and on the other by their cyclical nature. They were, in other words, topical moments that marked the passage, the transition, from a preparatory phase, coinciding with the time dedicated to education and training, to a more mature one, coinciding with the subsequent entry into the world of work. These stages were then followed, after a long period of working life, by leaving work and reaching retirement. These were the salient stages of people's professional transitions and the public and private life of each person was organised around them; this scenario, even if not always so clear-cut, was consistently applied from the dawn of industrial society until the end of the 1980s.
