CORROCHANO, Maria Carla  and  ABRAMO, Laís Wendel. Youth, education and decent work: the construction of an agenda. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.47, pp.110-129. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv22n47.110.

In the last two decades have increased considerably the number of public actions oriented to the Brazilian youth. This article discusses recent trends regarding the debate about youth and work in this country, considering the new National Agenda of Decent Work for Youth, and the central relevance of this theme for a significant part of Brazilian youth. Documents analysis and the authors' presence at the Agenda's formulation are the basis for the discussion on advances and limitations of public policies for youth in Brazil, especially considering the roles played by school and work to structure the multiple paths which young people can carve out towards adult life.

Keywords : Youth; Education; Work; Decent Work; Public Policies.
