Abstract
[fre] La jeunesse n'est plus ce qu'elle était : les difficultés d'une description. . Est-il possible d'opérer, sur la base de données statistiques longitudinales (ou de leurs substituts}, une description sociologique des transformations intervenues dans la jeunesse en tant qu'âge de la vie depuis les années 1920 ? Les données nécessaires n'existant pas, on s'efforce, en construisant des quasi-panels, de mesurer les inflexions des calendriers, l'allongement des durées de Jeunesse propres aux différentes catégories sociales (ici repérées par leur niveau de diplôme) et de trouver des indicateurs d'accès à l'autonomie financière, familiale et résidentielle. La montée du chômage et les difficultés d'insertion professionnelle ne semblent pas suffire pour expliquer le spectaculaire déplacement vers le haut de la borne supérieure de la jeunesse dans les milieux populaires. [eng] Can longitudinal statistical data be used as base for making sociological description of the transformations wich have occured amongst the youth as an age group since the nineteen-twenties (1920's)? In as far as that the necessary data does not exist one endeavours to measure by the construction of quasi-panels-data the shifts in calenders and the extension of the period of dependence characteristic of the different social categories here pinpointed by the level of their qualifications. One also tries to find evidence of how financial parental and residential independence is acquiered. The rise of unemployed and the difficulties of getting integrated into the professional world do not seem to be sufficient to explain the very strikingly obvious movement towards the upper limits of the working class youth of today.
