Homicides do not include reproductive potential of individuals, often murdered in deaths that result from the enforcement of their most productive stage of life [1].

  • Grupo Interagir and Instituto De Juventude Do Baixo Sul Da Bahia
    Foreword In a moment when the Federal Government mobilizes itself to create and to consolidate the National Youth Policy, youth organizations and movements organize themselves and create their own spaces to articulate and to debate what kind of youth policy they want. If public policy can be understood as actions that have the purpose to attend the needs of all society, civil society’s organizations and government have the responsibility in the matter. After all, the government was established to defend collective interests and the society organizes itself for the same reason. The youth – directly affected by governmental and non-governmental actions in several areas like health, education, transport, income generation, citizenship, among others – need to participate and contribute with the formulation, management and evaluation of this policy process. With this vision on how the implementation process of the National Youth Secretariat, the National Youth Council and the Youth Program – “ PRO-JOVEM ” – should be lead, about 60 organizations articulated themselves in a never seen task- force to evaluate governmental actions that impact in this populational category. The first step was the dissemination of our work base instrument, the United Nations’ Toolkit “ Making Commitments Matter” – a guide for young people to evaluate the national youth policy. But we have to mention that without the initial interest of the member of Interagir and UNEP’s Youth Advisor for Latin America and the Caribbean, Mrs. Camila Godinho, the Portuguese version of this document wouldn’t be available, once our language is not an official UN Language. With the basic tool on our hands, a series of actions that aimed to amplify the access to this international youth tool started in 2004, to those that never had the chance to participate in international programs.

  • The Research on Young People in Brazil: Setting New Challenges from Quantitative Data
    SEÇÃO: ARTIGOS A pesquisa sobre jovens no Brasil: traçando novos desafios a partir de dados quantitativos1 Marilia Pontes Sposito2 Raquel Souza2 Fernanda Arantes e Silva2 Resumo A partir de análise da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra Domiciliar (PNAD), abrangendo dois períodos (2004 e 2014), este artigo explora mudanças e permanências na situação de jovens nos campos da educação, do trabalho e da vida familiar. Ao mesmo tempo, explicita como essas dimensões são experimentadas de modo variado por moças e rapazes e segundo clivagens como idade, raça/cor e renda familiar. É considerando esse exercício que se busca delinear, ainda que em caráter preliminar e exploratório, novos desafios para a pesquisa sobre a condição juvenil e os jovens brasileiros. Faz parte dessa agenda a compreensão sobre como as mudanças socioeconômicas experimentadas na última década, bem como sua recente inflexão, declinam na experiência da atual geração de jovens, seja em termos de um conjunto de novas expectativas, seja em desafios para satisfação de tais aspirações. Por outro lado, destaca-se a necessidade de uma perspectiva atenta à compreensão desses indivíduos em suas trajetórias, de seus modos de vida, dos desafios comuns que lhes são propostos e do modo como são por eles respondidos nesse momento do percurso de vida. Palavras-chave Juventude – Mudança social – Educação – Trabalho – Vida familiar. The research on young people in Brazil: setting new challenges from quantitative data Abstract Based on an analysis of data from the National Survey of Household Sampling (PNDA) covering two periods (2004 and 2014), this article explores changes and continuities in the situation of youths in the fields of education, labor and family life.

The paper takes a look at various aspects of youth at a time of uncertainty and growing competi- tiveness, where challenges are ever greater and where the need for young people to master new skills and abilities is paramount. After discussing the constraints and prospects of the Brazilian educational situation, as well as some of the public policies directed to the youth sector, the article concludes that despite significant strides in the educational sphere, much remains to be done for the youth of Brazil. key words Labour; Employment and education; Youth unemployment in Brazil.

  • Lucicleia Barreto Queiroz, Isabel Menezes Exploring the Limits And
    Journal of Social Science Education © JSSE 2013 Volume 12, Number 3 ISSN 1618-5293 Lucicleia Barreto Queiroz, Isabel Menezes Exploring the Limits and Potentials of Youth Participation in Public Policy as Citizenship Learning: a Study in the State of Acre, Brazil Keywords youth, public policies, participation, citizenship In the last decade, youth entered the agenda of public policies in Brazil, recognizing not only the problems that affect young people, but also the need for a proactive perspective that views youngsters as playing a central role in the design and implementation of policy. This is a tendency that is also noticeable in other countries, and there is clearly a “vogue of youth participation” (Bessant 2004, 401) in public policy across the world. Research in the field tends to show that these experiences can be effective in promoting young people’s civic and political knowledge, attitudes and competences and therefore can become a strategy of non-formal citizenship education. However, there are critiques that participation in these initiatives risks pamphleteering and tokenism. The goal of this paper is to enter this debate by considering the Brazilian experience in the State of Acre. It explores how opportunities for participation that youth public policies appear to stimulate are, in fact, perceived and experienced by groups involved in the process, from decision-makers to young people. Results suggest that youth public policy in the State of Acre seems to balance protectionism and recognition of youth agency and is undoubtedly influenced by the diverse and ambivalent perceptions about young people, ranging from irresponsibility and disinterest to consciousness and active engagement – on the whole, these tensions concur to make genuine participation unattainable.

  • Youth in Brazil's Peripheries in the Era of Coronashock
    YOUTH IN BRAZIL’S PERIPHERIES IN THE ERA OF CORONASHOCK Dossier no 33 Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research October 2020 COVER PHOTO The Grito dos Excluídos (‘Cry of the Excluded’) mobilisation brings together post office workers on strike and educators who are occupying the streets in downtown Campinas (Brazil), 7 September 2020. Guilherme Gandolfi / Fotos Públicas YOUTH IN BRAZIL’S PERIPHERIES IN THE ERA OF CORONASHOCK Dossier no 33 | Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research October 2020 Dossier no 33 Introduction Across the world, youth have become important political actors, espe- cially since the 1960s. Along with workers, women, and people of colour, youth have been main protagonists in the fight for national, anti-colonial, anti-imperialist liberation in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. They have also spearheaded uprisings against the establish- ment and their state institutions (such as the uprisings against prison systems and mental asylums – particularly youth detention centres). As they organised, they created movements and led struggles in the following decades for the right to education, health, and housing, as well as for the right to one’s own body, the right to love, and to be able to be whoever one wishes to be. In Brazil, the 1970s and 1980s were an impactful time period. In addi- tion to the end of the military dictatorship in 1985 and the enact- ment of a new Constitution in 1988, in this time period leftist social organisations consolidated their foundation and structure and flour- ished, as was the case with the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), Workers’ Party (PT), Base Ecclesial Communities (BECs), and Unified Workers’ Central (CUT).
