Disputed futures: rural entrepreneurship and migration in postsecondary trajectories on the Ecuador–Colombia Border

Diana Rodríguez-Gómez · 2022 · Ethnography & Education

Summary. This ethnographic study examines how schools in the Ecuador-Colombia border region use rural entrepreneurship projects to shape young people's futures and align their aspirations with state priorities. The research reveals tensions between institutionalized entrepreneurship initiatives and students' actual desires for geographical and social mobility, showing how the future functions as a tool of government control over youth.
