PROBLEMS OF SERBIAN YOUTH: GROWING UP
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL CRISIS
Summary
Objective of this research was to identify problems that young
people in Serbia have been dealing with, also how they perceive the
weight of these problems and whether there are the gender, age, school
type and regional differences in their perception of problems. We were
also interested to find out if problems typical of adolescence, as well
as problems characterizing some global social changes are intensified
within the context of prolonged social crisis and transition. Research
was conducted in October 2007, on a sample of 2419 young people,
stratified by the region (Belgrade, North, Central and South Serbia), age
(first to fourth grade of secondary school) and school type (gymnasium,
three years and four years vocational schools). An original questionnaire, constructed for this research, was applied. Results have shown
that the majority of investigated problems have not been perceived as
particularly big or harmful ones. Young people are most concerned with
three problems (meaning that one third or more of youngsters find them
to be big or relatively big ones): the lack of interesting places to go out
(46%), the lack of time for leisure activities (41%) and boredom (35%).
Surpassingly few youngster reported to have bigger problems with their
parents (22%) or peers (14%). Girls and senior high school students
systematically perceive almost all problems as harder ones. We could
conclude that the gained picture was not gloomy, as it was expected,
which could probably be attributed to joy, energy and optimism of these
young people in this life span period.
Key Words: youth, social crisis, young peoples leisure, parents, peers
