This work is oriented to state some problematizations leading to discuss on the conceptual and methodological pertinence of social trajectories as a potential approach for “youth analysis”, assuming that social trajectories are mostly a matter of the field of public policies. The most extended notions concerning social trajectories are presented and discussed, with an emphasis on the realities of youths, portraying the methodological, technical and source potentialities, limits and difficulties for the development of social research under this approach.
Keywords:
