Abstract

This paper aims to focus on the inclusion of youth into the labor market from the social movements of struggles to uphold human rights of second dimension, the social rights in Latin America, especially on the experiences of youth participation in socio-historical contextualization of student and working class actions from Mexico and Argentina, which was formed in the mid-twentieth century. Thereto, a literature review was conducted based on  Thompsonian Neo-Marxist, Gramscinian and Habermasian schools, besides theoreticians of the Labor Sociology as Robert Castel and Paul Singer, as well as the Sociology of Youth  in Latin America as Sérgio Balardini, Maritza Urtega Castro Pozo and José Antonio Pérez Islãs. The legacy that remains from the Latin American youth, in this case, the Mexican setting with young students desirous of worthy manufacturing work, as ell as the movement of the picketers in Argentina that have in their ranks many young people unused at labor and by political participation, it is the preponderance of the many subtle mechanisms of resistance and struggle for social rights, specifically here of decent work.
