This work covers the aspects of the study related to past experiences that have influenced the decision-making process to trace their educational and labor trajectories; we will identify factors affecting their path on both a personal level and an environmental level. This qualitative study uses in-depth interviews as its main data collection method.

The research sought to recognize the perspectives of the male and female inhabitants of this community, particularly young people, towards citizenship and their community exercise. It was designed from a communitarian perspective framed within citizenship studies, based on mixed-method research and a descriptive scope. The study has reflected on aspects enabling us to outline work paths that consider the opportunities and challenges of community citizenship in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the Metropolitan Region.

The required information was collected by means of in-depth interviews and a survey. Results show that a coordinated synchronization among family, education institutions and company mediations favors an organized school-to-work transition within hostile environments, and it is influential on the working conditions for people after graduating from a technical baccalaureate program. José Antonio Espinal Betanzo Copyright (c) 2024 Última Década 2024-11-28 2024-11-28 32 63 71 106 10.5354/0718-2236.2024.76661 https://adnz.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/76662 The study analyzes the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation, consumption and criminality in young people from marginalized areas of Mexico City. This study questions the hypothesis that economic deprivation and high consumption expectations are determinants of delinquency. Based on data collected from a survey, it was revealed that the majority of participants do not experience any significant trouble satisfying basic needs, nor give great importance to luxury consumption. No high levels of frustration or tendency to get goods illegally were observed; the results, therefore, challenge the supposedly direct relation between socioeconomic deprivation and criminal tendencies, suggesting the need for more integral approaches to understand these dynamics. Minor Mora-Salas Gustavo Adolfo Urbina Cortés Copyright (c) 2024 Última Década 2024-11-28 2024-11-28 32 63 107 146 10.5354/0718-2236.2024.76662 https://adnz.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/76663 The next pages will analyze the meanings given to motherhood and youth transition in the implementation of a socio-educational program in Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Likewise, it is examined the extent of the influence of the contemporary feminist agenda on male and female educators who accompany young people in the program. As part of this exploration, it was possible to recognize the coexistence of multiple messages about gender norms and admissible and inadmissible ways of passing through youth and motherhood experiences. During the development of the program, it was possible to identify tensions present in the interactions between their different aspects. While the official program guidelines were re-configured according to the Sexual and (non) Reproductive Rights agenda, male and female educators who accompany young people in the program have shaped their profiles based on their own life trajectories and on the moral and affective dimensions of school. As a result, control and regulation mechanisms coexist with care practices in the pedagogical accompaniment strategies for young female people. Guadalupe Fernández Chein Copyright (c) 2024 Última Década 2024-11-28 2024-11-28 32 63 147 183 10.5354/0718-2236.2024.76663 https://adnz.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/76664 The interpretation of conflicts happening within the school daily life is correlated with the way it is approached and the suggested solutions. We referenced the notion of semantic configurations developed by Didier Fassin (2016) to relate it to the interpretation of high school students from Argentina on three different types of conflicts: alcohol consumption, escraches (public denunciation) against peer bullying and anonymous reports on social media. The different ways of conceptualizing problems will be linked to the consequences and solutions proposed to solve them.

From a socio-critical paradigm based on a qualitative approach and by means of visual methods, social cartographies of 16 high school students were developed. As a result, four aspects are highlighted: place of origin, appreciation for the countryside, personal characteristics, and aspirations to be someone in life. It is concluded that the visibilization of the identity construction of young rural students contributes to their recognition as social subjects with agencies and resistances.

Revisamos su trayectoria como investigadora, gestora y activista, sus aportes, nuevas inquietudes y apuntes para el campo de la investigación con jóvenes y la formulación de políticas públicas dirigidas a este público. Vanessa Araújo Correia Víctor Nedel Oliveira Copyright (c) 2024 Última Década 2024-11-28 2024-11-28 32 63 258 299 10.5354/0718-2236.2024.76666 https://adnz.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/76667 En términos de estructura, este libro se conforma como un conjunto de investigaciones que se aproximan a realidades juveniles con perspectiva de género. No solo son vivencias juveniles, sino que, como su nombre lo indica, el texto da cuenta del “lado B”, ese que pasa desapercibido, que no se mira con detención y, en ocasiones, ni siquiera se mira de reojo. Marlene Vera Gutiérrez Copyright (c) 2024 Última Década 2024-11-28 2024-11-28 32 63 300 313 10.5354/0718-2236.2024.76667 https://adnz.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/76668 El libro que se comenta está escrito y editado en formato digital, es de libre acceso y en él se exploran las condiciones sociales de las juventudes argentinas en un contexto territorial muy singular: Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. Ubicada en el extremo austral de América y que ocupa el lugar 29 entre las 500 islas con mayor superficie del mundo (47.992 km2), este territorio insular se distribuye soberanamente entre Argentina y Chile. La sección argentina de la isla tiene 200 mil habitantes aproximadamente y 20.698 km². Desde un punto de vista geográfico, la Provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur constituye la unidad político-administrativa provincial más austral de la República Argentina. El territorio fueguino está integrado por tres ciudades intermedias si se considera su cantidad de habitantes: Río Grande (98.000), Ushuaia (82.000) y Tolhuin (9.879). Y es precisamente desde esta dimensión o anclaje territorial-insular que emerge, en el texto reseñado, una sólida y singular aproximación sociológica a las juventudes insulares que habitan la isla de Tierra del Fuego.
