This dissertation analyses the perspectives of low-income youth on early pregnancy. It includes also subjective aspects of their lives and their perceptions on what it means to be parents while they are still young. This study also explores what they define as gain and losses of becoming parents and how they perceive their socio-economical status. This analysis was made possible through the understanding of their educational background inside the family and at school. The methodological tool used was ethnographic research. The research has shown that the behavior of low income youth has been affected by different social transformations such as those caused by globalization processes. The lack of familiarity with the responsibilities of adulthood may affect their roles as parents. On the other hand, the lack of efficient public policies targeting this population lead us to consider that in the next generations, youth might be faced with new challenging issues.
