Changing youth

Summary/Abstract: The first part of this study outlines the history of youth since the age of the “Sturm und Drang”. Since the 1980s, sociologists have been seeing a growing segregation between youth in an underclass and a new, “postadolescent” generation. The second part of the study explores the new patterns of this generation. The author argues that changes corresponds to the development of a post-industrial society; it is a second demographic transition, the changing world of learning and work, a transformed ‘coupling’ and family relations, along with transitions in values and attitudes.
