The Temporality of Solidarities. Family and Friend Support’s Variability in Regard to Young People’s Economic Vulnerability Degree in Switzerland

Based on an original survey on 1500 young people aged from 18 to 29 years old, this article aims to better understand the influence of economic vulnerability on family and peers’ solidarity. By considering two types of support (practical and financial supports), our results show that for economically vulnerable young people the support provided by family and peers is more durable and more intimately related to basic needs fulfilment.
