Young people are a segment of the population that is generally defined by age characteristics. However the perspective of cultural studies has largely managed to overcome this vision by considering it as a category that is culturally constructed in relation to multiple factors where age is one of them. Defining young people from a socio-cultural perspective implies going beyond biological limits such as age and not assuming youth as a homogeneous category that responds to a single identification variable. Including chronological family cultural psychosocial institutional aspects and above all the logic of the construction of age differences within a given society are indispensable requirements in the analysis of the relationship between youth and identity.
