Özet
Gençlik kategorisi farklı dönemlerde farklı şekilde tanımlanan, farklı misyonlar verilen dinamik bir kategoridir. Bu makale, gençlik kavramının modern anlamıyla ortaya çıktığı, modern eğitim sisteminin dikey toplumsal hareketlilik vaat ettiği ve gençlerin imtiyazlı bir kategori olarak tanımlanmasına, İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında eğitimin kitleselleşmesiyle yaşanan değişime ve ardından neoliberal dönemle beraber ortaya çıkan, eğitimin vaatlerini yerine getiremediği ve genç işsizliğinin başat rol oynadığı toplumlarda genç olmaya deneyimine odaklanmaktadır. Yaşanan dönüşümle beraber “yetişkinliğe” geçişin gittikçe zorlaştığı, zorlu bir gençlik dönemi ortaya çıkmaktadır.
