Abstract:
This text presents the dossier “Latin American youth: challenges and potentialities in the context of the pandemic” whose main objective is to make visible the experience of Latin American youth during the pandemic, offering contributions to the resolution of the revealed and deepened problems in this period. The Dossier brings together ten studies on five Latin American countries that address the themes: the displacement and importance of time, space and perspectives for the future among young people during the pandemic, inequality in the use of ICTs in the area of education, growth in precarious jobs and the political participation of youth. Due to the important contributions, we consider the Dossier as a landmark in the field of studies on Latin American youth and as a unique record of how the pandemic has impacted the lives of youth.
