Before the choice of upper secondary school in the ninth grade, young people need to
have knowledge of themselves and the world. In this tough choice, the parents are the
main support. The supporting role, which are their thoughts on how much they
influence in their children?s choice of study? Based on these issues, we seek the answer
to the question; which vision have the parents on their involvement in their children's
choice of upper secondary school? Which visions have the parents on the impact on
their children's upper secondary school? Do the parents think that the children's
upbringing has influenced their choices?
Young people's career decisions take place in interaction with their parents and with
very different cultural, economic, social and symbolic capital. The concepts are Pierre
Bourdieu's theory that intends to be our toolbox for this thesis. Along with Hodkinson
and Sparkes? theory Careership the concepts describes a certain extent what influences
young people's choices in their life and what impact factors found in their upbringing.
The concepts of socialization are these theories a whole in understanding how parents
inhibit or promote their children in electoral processes. Previous research indicates
actuation occurs unawareness of parents to their children.
This survey was done with qualitative method and with the hermeneutic interpretation
on the analysis. The results of our study showed that majority of the respondents believe
upbringing affect the election but friends and interests are factors they believe affect the
most.
