Significados de paternidad para jóvenes universitarios: cotidianidad, relaciones y cambios en proyecto de vida

Abstract

Abstract (analytical)Paternities in universities lead to vulnerabilities, changes and dichotomies. Understanding the meanings attributed to fatherhood involves basing this research on the principles of symbolic interactionism based on the description of everyday life, relationships and changes in life plans. The methodology used Grounded Theory approach. In-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with eight undergraduate male students at a public university in Colombia. Being a young person, a father and a student requires carrying out multiple activities that lead to reducing their fatherhood to a predominantly economic responsibility. This created tensions among the young fathers who felt the need to earn more or enter precarious labor markets that affect their mental and physical health, which in turn has an impact on their academic performance and perpetuates traditional roles attributed to genders. Keywords: Parents, youth, students, university.
