Alinhamento dos programas da Secretaria Nacional de Juventude ao Estatuto da Juventude

Abstract

By recognizing the Estatuto da Juventude (Law Nº 12.852 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution) as the normative basis that supports all public policies aimed at the brazilian youth, the authors of the article propose an analysis of the alignment between the programs maintained by the Secretaria Nacional da Juventude (SNJ) and the document. SNJ is the office responsible for articulating and managing youth policies at a federal level and faces the challenge of managing programs aligned with all the eleven Sections, or axes, provided for by Law 12.852. Such Sections deal with the rights and prerogatives of the young population that must be guaranteed by the the State. To relate the public policies maintained by the SNJ until February 2020 to the determinations of the Estatuto da Juventude, the authors chose a qualitative and exploratory methodological approach. The gathering of documents in collections of web pages will be preceded by their analysis in relation to the eleven axes of the Statute, in order to indicate the level of adequacy of the public policies created and maintained by SNJ to the subjects covered by the Law. The objective is to determine if youth rights and prerogatives are being contemplated, or if there are gaps to be filled, and indicate possible solutions.
