Description
Summary:This is an account of the processes of the social construction of the category rural youth, which started with the institutionalization of laws & public policies whose aim was to instill new ways of thinking, doing & feeling, among young men & women in the rural environment. In developed countries, the rural youth had become a social problem from the end of the 19th Century, due to the intervention of public & private institutions wishing to bring about social & technological changes in the rural environment. In Latin America, the problematization of the rural youth was carried out by international organizations involved in the promotion of agricultural development & the solution of the technological & cultural backwardness of the rural population during the Cold War.
