Yugoslavia's Youth and the Crisis

Srđan Vrcan ; Faculty of Law, Split

Abstract

According to the research project on Yugoslavia's youth, »The Position, Consciousness and Behaviour of the Young Generation«, and the results obtained by means of a representative survey of about 6000 examinees, the author raises a number of universal questions, while searching for the answers among the empirical data. The issue itself, the crisis determining, it, and hence derived hypotheses, the possible definitions of Yugoslav youth, are also being analysed through comparison with the results in other youth research projects throughout the world. Among the arising issues is also the possibility of establishing youth (or at least one of its segments) as a generation in the sense in which Manheim uses it. The process of arriving closest to a negative answer is followed by the description of those differences appearing in some of the features of Yugoslavia’s youth population concerning the territorially-political determinants of these differences.
