Abstract

Within the framework of the post-pandemic and in the educational context that has been experienced in Argentina in recent years, inequalities appear, with new aspects to debate about youth and education in the current young generations. With thisidea, the article presents past, present and future debates on the opportunities and aspects of youth that have been recorded during longitudinal research carried out in the last twenty years with different cohorts of young people. In particular, it presents the results of an ongoing investigation into the young population and secondary education in different areas of Argentina. The main objective is to debate the aspects and contexts that occurred and caused inequalities in youth transitions. The central hypothesis of the article is that the processes and effects of inequality in each of thegenerations studied are explained and described both within the circumstances and conjunctures in which the youth trajectories occur.
