The thematic on youth has been –since almost ever- a Topic of interest for internacional organisms, but this took major visibility beginning with the preparation and celebration of the Internacional Year of Youth, in 1985, under the motto “participation, development, peace”. Since then, a number of plans, programs and projects have been developed in many different levels (local, nacional, regional and internacional) and in many different topics (work, education, health, participation, etc). Nevertheless, unlike other emergent contemporary thematic (as the ones related first with the woman and then more precisely with the gender) the thematic on youth have not deserved a clear priority in the agenda of the different international organisms. Only recently, actions have been performed trying to catch up with the –demographic, social and political- relevance of young men and women. In this section, the Portal gives systematic and permanent information on the labor of different international organisms, largely assuming the sectoriality with which these organisms operate and giving –when possible) the corresponding overview (integral and integrated). In a way, this is possible beginning with a chronic of the actions of specialized organisms –as the Ibero-American Youth Organization (OIJ in spanish) that gathers the governments of the region- that try to face integrated answers in this domains.
