Abstract

Youth identity varies between social levels, cultures and classes, being debilitated by the moratorium concept and demonstrating the existence of psychosocial pressure. The modern prolongation of the life and the societies of risk, are accompanied by uncertainty, valuation of individualisation, flexible forms of stability, and search of social insertions with innovative potential. In the identity structuring difference between individualisation, identity and individualism. One distinguishes the multi-centre identity, its relations with the social identities and the presence of partial identities. In youth participation the redistribution of the power, and the new intergenerational relations of generics is emphasized.
