摘要：The main purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse some of the processes throughwhich people acquire labour dispositions working for the neoliberal project promotionin a natural and legitimate way. The authors believe that the transitions from school towork provide an ideal opportunity to study such processes. The research took place in theSpanish village of Colindres from 2013 to 2015. We developed the investigation throughan anthropological methodology and used different tools as longitudinal interviewsand ethnographic fieldwork. In this way, we selected high school students who sharesignificant features related to their family origins and formative period. The authorsconclude by discussing how the salaried classes impose upon themselves those labourmechanics and techniques applied by advocates of neoliberal policies: job insecurity,salary precariousness, labour mobility, time flexibility, and job rotation. In this case,we have found that family, peer group and close community in Colindres establish aframework in which young people naturally learn how to face up to their precariouslabour experiences without conflict. Finally, the labour marketplace obtains what itneeds: an adult who makes his own free decisions as a precarious worker and a low-levelconsumer.
