This article analyzes the results of a collaborative survey which has traced the recent trajectory of youth and adult education (YAE) in twenty countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, drawing a cartography of the politics and programs of the governments and of the civil society. Based on an exam of the regional context, the work draws conclusions about the roles recently played by YAE and recognizes the plurality of particular social subjects which require this education modality. Characterization and comparison of policies and programs of such countries lead to the identification of common trends, exceptional cases and critical aspects.
