Born in the countryside - die in the city? Exclusion and expulsion of young people from Latin American rural areas
Abstract This paper presents different sources of social vulnerability of the rural youths in Latin America. Different economic, cultural and social barriers limit the access of young people into the social and working context, as well as their first step into the “adulthood”. Moreover, the influence of globalization (information and communication technologies), reaching every part of the world, opens up in the youths new expectations, which seem to be achievable only in the cities. In this frame two kinds of factors can be defined: “push-factors”, driving youths out of their native areas, and “pull-factors”, making them long for a different life (sometimes only illusory) in the city. Some aspects of the obstacles to land property access and to generational renovation in Latin America are here presented. Finally, some suggestions applying for the future public policies are given.
