在这篇文章中，我检查话语和实践周围的就业，时间的经验，并在埃塞俄比亚城市的年轻人的国际移民，以证明理解文化和经济进程的新自由主义资本主义的价值和局限性。年轻人无法体验进步并承担成年人的规范责任，这受到与结构调整相关的经济政策和围绕职业地位的当地价值观的限制。年轻人认为国际移徙是解决他们暂时问题的办法。我认为，当地的价值观周围的地位和耻辱突出的重要性，社会关系的概念化的时间和空间。
In this article, I examine discourses and practices surrounding employment, the experience of time, and international migration among young men in urban Ethiopia to demonstrate the value and Limits of understanding cultural and economic processes in terms of neoliberal capitalism. Young men's inability to experience progress and take on the normative responsibilities of adults is conditioned by economic policies associated with structural adjustment and Local values surrounding occupational status. Young men construct international migration as a solution to their temporal problems. I argue that Local values surrounding status and shame highlight the importance of social relationships for conceptualizing time and space.
