New Generations and Institutions in Contemporary Europe

Pedro González Blasco

Abstract

The author shows the common characteristics of young people in Europe between the age of 15 and 29 years based on the responses given by young people in the survey regarding values conducted in 13 different European countries. For a better understanding the author first outlines the modern state of affairs in Europe which can be described as a reality in the building. At the beginning of the presentation of young Europeans the report gives data on their marital status, how many of them live together, and how many are single. A large percentage of the young respondents across Europe confirmed that the four most important values are family, friends, work and leisure. The article further summarizes what young Europeans think about religion and their level of trust in institutions. Then there is an account of how, why, how long and with whom they associate and the quality of their relationship with their family. In the end the survey shows the thoughts and attitude of youth towards politics and education.
