This paper is based on a systematic documentary review of youth studies carried out in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia between 2011 and 2019. The results of these studies describe the living conditions experienced by young people in the social, cultural and political dimensions of their lives, and also identify research trends in youth studies in these three countries. The discussion shows that the social, political and cultural construction of youth in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia can be under-stood through three elements: conditions of inequality and structural violence in which young people live, an intensification of pluralities and multiplicities as a generational marker, and consolidation of the youth subject as the protagonist of political life and social conflict in contemporary contexts.

Keywords: Research, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil.

Keywords : Youth; social construction; cultural construction; political construction.
