Thinking about youth

In addition to the works of a more specialized kind which ELAC’s Social Development Division has produced in connection with International Youth Year, there are others which examine the reality of youth from a global standpoint. One such is this article, in which the author, a distinguished Uruguayan intellectual who died recently, puts together some thoughts which reveal certain hidden facets of that reality. The sections presented here are only a few parts of a larger work and may be seen as a modest tribute to his memory.
