- The aim of this chapter is to create a greater theoretical understanding of social welfare, unemployment, and vulnerability among youth and its impacts on a local level. We do so by re-analysing a study of how social workers treat young unemployed and how these young people experience their possibilities and constraints in relation to the demands of the social services. In this chapter, we will meet the empirical example with a time-geographical perspective and discuss what such an interpretation adds to the knowledge about the vulnerability of the young unemployed. The geographical and temporal aspects of the lives of young unemployed show how different types of constraints affect young people’s everyday lives. The results show that the constraints can boil down to five underlying forms of vulnerability for the young unemployed: constraints in mobility, constraints in access to technology, constraints in social relations, constraints in accommodation, and constraints in autonomy and integrity. By using time-geography, we are able to theorise the differences between local administrations of social welfare in the municipalities and the constraints the young unemployed face in their local environment.
