Yugoslavia\u27s Youth and the Crisis

Na osnovu istraživanja omladine Jugoslavije »Položaj, svijest i ponašanje mlade generacije« i rezultata dobivenih na reprezentativnom uzroku od oko 6000 ispitanika, autor postavlja neka opća pitanja, tražeći u empirijskom materijalu odgovore. Problematičnost, određenost krizom i iz toga izvedene hipoteze i moguća određenja jugoslavenske omladine, propituju se i komparacijama s rezultatima drugih istraživanja o omladini u svijetu. Također se postavlja i pitanje mogućeg konstituiranja omladine (ili barem jednog njenog dijela) kao generacije u Manheimovom smislu. Dolaženje do odgovora koji je najbliži negativnom, praćeno je deskripcijom različitosti koje se u nekim osobinama javljaju kod omladine u Jugoslaviji, s obzirom na teritorijalno-politička određenja tih različitosti.According to the research project on Yugoslavia\u27s youth, »The Position, Consciousness and Behaviour of the Young Generation«, and the results obtained by means of a representative survey of about 6000 examinees, the author raises a number of universal questions, while searching for the answers among the empirical data. The issue itself, the crisis determining, it, and hence derived hypotheses, the possible definitions of Yugoslav youth, are also being analysed through comparison with the results in other youth research projects throughout the world. Among the arising issues is also the possibility of establishing youth (or at least one of its segments) as a generation in the sense in which Manheim uses it. The process of arriving closest to a negative answer is followed by the description of those differences appearing in some of the features of Yugoslavia’s youth population concerning the territorially-political determinants of these differences
