Abstract

Young people often encounter a zig-zag journey to enter adulthood. After finishing their higher education stage, it is common for young people to transform into adults through work. This article aims to show the location of the concept of risk according to Beck in this transition process carried out by young people in Purwokerto, Indonesia. The method used in this article is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach. The primary data sources in this article are 4 articles with the themes of young people and the risks of an incomplete higher education process, young people and the risks of digital work, and young people and the risks of creative work in the realm of contemporary arts. The findings of this article are that risks within young people's transition into adulthood can be found in the failure of higher education to connect with the "proper kind of work," the new type of work that involves a new space called digital space and the creative work of young people. This finding proves Beck's premise regarding the global generation of risk.
