Youth and collective action in Mexico

Abstract

The subject of this article is to study the involvement of young people in collective actions in Mexico through various questions to what do we call youth? Collective action is called what? There are various types of youth collective action? What are the ways in which the participation of young people in collective action manifests empirically? What the magnitude of youth participation in collective action? In particular we believe that youth participation is more a myth than a fact in the Mexican context. In other words, we believe that there has been in the magnitude that some authors hoped to improve the conditions of material and symbolic existence of Mexican youth.
