Abstract

Work is positioned as a key activity in the transition to adult life and in the configuration of a useful social identity for young people who seek to contribute economically to the place where they live. Young people are placed as an age group with specific characteristics and go through specific difficulties in obtaining and maintaining a formal job due to stereotypes and the discrimination they go through in work contexts. In the essay that is presented, brief reflections are presented about the importance of work in youth, the need to consider young people within the work schemes and the difficulties they usually go through, unlike other human groups.
