Working PhD project title:

The effect of aftercare for Norwegian youths with low socioeconomic status

Aim of the project:

The project aims at giving a greater understanding of how the transition from care to independent adulthood is for youths with a background from child welfare services and low socioeconomic status. Through the project, I wish to increase our knowledge about who this group is, what characterizes it and where we find them. Further, this project aims to contribute to knowledge about how aftercare can affect the outcomes for youths in their transition into independent adulthood in a Norwegian context.
