The elaboration of a large number of Youth Plans by the local public administrations of the Valencian Community has led to the carrying out of multiple youth studies throughout the Valencian territory. These studies have allowed the elaboration of a regional analysis of the main problems, concerns, motivations, interests and demands of young people from 12 to 30 years old. The presentation presents the general conclusions of this study of Valencian youth, as well as the issues of greatest concern regarding their lives, youth as a group, their municipalities and society in general.
