Famiglia, scuola, reti locali: lo' stato di salute' delle agenzie educative

[Autom. eng. transl.] Sociological research has for some time emphasized the changes that have taken place in today's contexts in the face of education. The key factor to interpret this change can be heterogeneity, or social differentiation, which has imposed a postmodern revision of all educational organizations based on the institutionalization of the socialization agent (family, school, university, church, business, etc.). The essay analyzes some data from local and national research, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, relating to the participation of young people in the various stages of socialization. Through empirical evidence, the essay demonstrates the role of adults as fundamental in an open view of generational growth, and even more so in the metropolitan context where there is a greater need for anchors because the traditional and community bonds are weaker.
