Youth from andalusian western coastAn attitudinal assessment

Resumen

With the aim of studying the social reality of young people from the Andalusian Western Coast, it has been tried to find the necessities they are from a psycho-social approach. This descriptive study has been carried out periodically since 2000 through three different surveys. In this research we have tried to conduct a study considering the most important social elements linked to youth (sex, education, consumption, or cultural habits). The breadth and diversity of the studied group, the variety of issues affecting them and the large amount of data we have managed on this group, have invited us to include different methodologies in the study. In the present paper, we present our analysis carried out considering quantitative data from a survey which has helped us to recognize and describe the necessities of young people in this Spanish region. The study will be useful to the extent that it will make possible designing further actions, drawing conclusions and making changes in what has been done concerning youth policy.
