Resumen

En este artículo hemos pretendido analizar los cambios sociales que está experimentando la sociedad española y su posible repercusión sobre el desarrollo de los chicos y chicas que realizan su tránsito a la adultez en los albores del siglo XXI. Así, hemos considerado los efectos de la globalización, los movimientos migratorios, la mayor presencia de los medios de comunicación, las nuevas tecnologías, el descenso el índice de natalidad o los cambios en la estructura de la familia. Esta transformación social va a presentar nuevos retos a adolescentes y jóvenes que pueden hacer más compleja la transición a la adultez y hacer aparecer nuevos problemas, por lo que creemos necesaria la adopción de políticas imaginativas y globales encaminadas a su prevención.

Abstract

In this paper, we wished to analyse the social changes that are taking place in Spanish society and the possible repercussions on children's development as they go through the transition to adulthood at the dawn of the 21st Century. We consider the effects of globalisation, migratory movements, the increased presence of the media, new technologies, the drop in the birth rate and changing family structures. This social transformation presents young people and adolescents with new challenges, which could make the transition to adulthood yet more complex and create new problems. That is why we believe in the need for imaginative and all-encompassing policies to counteract these new forces.
