Sí-sí

I’m looking for an accurate translation of ‘sí-sí’ below:
• Con la recuperación de la economía ha llegado la hora de los sí‐sí. Son jóvenes que sí estudian y que sí trabajan. Se pasan el verano ganándose dinero extra.

Would the second sentence translate as:
• They are young people who ‘do’ work and who ‘do’ study, where ‘do’ in this context acts as an auxiliary, and not as a main verb.

Many thanks in advance.
