Youth participation and associated conditions: an approach to collective capabilities configuration based on cases of young people between 15 and 21 years old from the Moquegua and Torata districts in the province of Mariscal Nieto
Abstract
This article analyzes the process of collective capabilities configuration in young people who participate in collective spaces within a context of human capital accumulation in the Moquegua and Torata districts, in the province of Mariscal Nieto, Moquegua (Peru). Therefore, discuss how the conditions associated with the participation of young people, whether they are social, familiar, personal or school, enhance or limit their development in collective spaces and the role they assume within these spaces. For the development of the research, a qualitative methodological design was chosen, in which the target population was selected in response to intentional criteria, obtaining a sample of 19 young people interviewed. Consequently, I maintain that the conditions associated with participation constitute a mechanism that enhances the participation of urban youth in collective spaces; however, in the case of rural youth, they represent means that limit their participation and, consequently, the development of collective capabilities and functionings achieved in collective spaces, understood as the role young people develop in front of their equals. Moreover, it was found that the migration from rural to urban is, for rural youth, an alternative through which they expand the range of spaces in which to participate, also modifying the possibility of assuming roles that they initially did not conceive as attainable. Based on this, I propose guidelines to be considered for future public and private intervention policies, which target population is young people.
