Abstract
PLANAS-LLADO, Anna; SOLER-MASO, Pere and FEIXA-PAMPOLS, Carles. Youth, public policies and crisis in Spain: Magic triangle or Bermuda Triangle?. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.551-564. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1223070314.
In times of crisis, the youth policies are experiencing enormous cutbacks and transformations to the point that we are wondering whether they really exist as public policies with their own entity. The situation in which many young people find themselves in Spain leads them to wonder where the traditional protection networks are: The family, the NGO’s or the Welfare State, when they are really needed. Our objective in this article is to show and discuss the situation of the youth policies in Spain in the present context of social austerity and drastic cutbacks. We carry out this analysis from the parameters of the magical triangle that unite policies, research and social work with young people.
Keywords : youth; economic recession; social work; Spain; youth policies; social intervention with young people.
