The school-to-work transition is often thought of as a linear pathway, but for many adolescents this is not the case. In recent years, young people in Ethiopia have lived through recurrent crises, including conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet there is limited longitudinal research that explores the impact of these recurrent, interconnected crises on young people's school-to-work transitions. This article addresses this study gap by exploring how adolescents and young people in urban Ethiopia navigate their educational and working lives during interconnected crises.
