Omladina je kako [[биологија|biološka]], tako i [[društvo|društvena]] kategorija. U tradicionalnom društvu omladina kao posebna društvena grupa nije postojala jer je uključivanje u sferu rada započinjalo već u ranom detinjstvu, a deca su automatski postajala odrasli čim su počela privređivati za život.

Around the world, the [[English language|English]] terms-- ''youth'', ''[[Adolescence|adolescent]]'', ''[[teenager]]'', ''kid'', ''youngster'' and ''young person,'' are interchanged, often meaning the same thing,<ref>Konopka, Gisela. (1973) [http://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ087128 "Requirements for Healthy Development of Adolescent Youth"], ''Adolescence''. '''8''' (31), p. 24.</ref> but they are occasionally differentiated. ''Youth'' can be referred to as the time of life, when one is young. This includes childhood, and the time of life, which is neither childhood nor adulthood, but rather somewhere in between.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.yourdictionary.com/youth |title=Youth dictionary definition – youth defined}}</ref><ref>Webster's New World Dictionary.</ref> ''Youth'' also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very ''youth''ful". For certain uses, such as employment statistics, the term also sometimes refers to individuals from the ages of 14 to 21.<ref>Altschuler, D.; Strangler, G.; Berkley, K.; Burton, L. (2009); [http://cjjr.georgetown.edu/pdfs/TransitionPaperFinal.pdf "Supporting Youth in Transition to Adulthood: Lessons Learned from Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120916235341/http://cjjr.georgetown.edu/pdfs/TransitionPaperFinal.pdf |date=September 16, 2012 }}. Center for Juvenile Justice Reform.</ref> However, the term ''adolescence'' refers to a specific age range during a specific developmental period in a person's life, unlike youth, which is a socially constructed category.<ref name="Furlong1" />

The [[United Nations]] defines ''youth'' as persons between the ages of roughly 15 and 24, with all UN statistics based on this range, the UN states education as a source for these statistics. The [[UN]] also recognizes that this varies without prejudice to other age groups listed by member states such as 18–30. A useful distinction within the UN itself can be made between teenagers (i.e. those between the ages of 13 and 19) and young adults (those between the ages of 20 and 29). While seeking to impose some uniformity on statistical approaches, the UN is aware of contradictions between approaches in its own statutes. Hence, under the 15–24 definition (introduced in 1981) children are defined as those under the age of 14 (someone 13 and younger) while under the 1979 Convention on the [[Rights of the Child]], those under the age of 18 are regarded as children.<ref name=Furlong2>{{cite book|last1=Furlong|first1=Andy|title=Youth Studies: An Introduction|date=2013|publisher=Routledge|location=USA|isbn=978-0-415-56476-2|pages=3–4}}</ref> The UN also states they are aware that several definitions exist for [https://www.un.org/esa/socdev/documents/youth/fact-sheets/youth-definition.pdf youth within UN entities] such as [http://unhabitat.org/ Youth Habitat 15–32], [https://www.ncsl.org/research/human-services/homeless-and-runaway-youth.aspx/ NCSL 12-24], and African Youth Charter 15–35.

On November 11, 2020, the [[State Duma]] of the [[Russian Federation]] approved a project to raise the cap on the age of young people from 30 to 35 years (the range now extending from 14 to 35 years).<ref>[http://www.rapsinews.com/legislation_news/20201111/306489146.html Youth in Russia], accessed 12 June 2021</ref>

Although linked to biological processes of development and aging, ''youth'' is also defined as a [[social position]] that reflects the meanings different cultures and societies give to individuals between childhood and adulthood. The term in itself when referred to in a manner of social position can be ambiguous when applied to someone of an older age with very low social position; potentially when still dependent on their guardians.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Youth Studies: An Introduction|last = Furlong|first = Andy|publisher = Routledge|year = 2011|isbn = 978-0415564793|location = New York}}</ref> Scholars argue that age-based definitions have not been consistent across cultures or times and that thus it is more accurate to focus on social processes in the transition to adult independence for defining youth.<ref name="Tyyska">{{cite book|title=Contemporary Youth Research: Local Expressions and Global Connections|page=3|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gXuqQ_hueXQC&q=Conceptualizing%20and%20theorizing%20youth%3A%20Global%20perspectives&pg=PA3|isbn=0-7546-4161-9|publisher=Ashgate Books|location=London|year=2005|author=Tyyskä, Vappu|chapter=Conceptualizing and Theorizing Youth: Global Perspectives}}</ref>

In much of sub-Saharan Africa, the term "youth" is associated with young men from 12 to 30 or 35 years of age. [[Youth in Nigeria]] includes all members of the Federal Republic of Nigeria aged 18–35.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nigeria 2009 National Youth Policy|url= http://www.youthpolicy.org/national/Nigeria_2009_National_Youth_Policy.pdf}}</ref> Many African girls experience youth as a brief interlude between the onset of [[puberty]] and [[marriage]] and [[motherhood]]. But in urban settings, poor women are often considered youth much longer, even if they bear children outside of marriage. Varying culturally, the gender constructions of youth in Latin America and Southeast Asia differ from those of sub-Saharan Africa. In Vietnam, widespread notions of youth are sociopolitical constructions for both sexes between the ages of 15 and 35.<ref name="ReferenceA">Dalsgaard, Anne Line Hansen, Karen Tranberg.

In [[Brazil]], the term ''youth'' refers to people of both sexes from 15 to 29 years old. This age bracket reflects the influence on Brazilian law of international organizations like the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO). It is also shaped by the notion of adolescence that has entered everyday life in Brazil through a discourse on children's rights.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Grupa studentkinja u Sjedinjenim Državama, 1973.
Young people dressed in casual wear attend Woodstock Festival of rock music, Poland, 2011

Mladost je razdoblje života između detinjstva i odraslosti, a pojam omladina označava osobe koje se nalaze u tom razdoblju.[1][2] Youth is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one, who is young".[3] Its definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is not defined chronologically as a stage that can be tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid work, or having sexual relations.[4][5]

Omladina je kako biološka, tako i društvena kategorija. U tradicionalnom društvu omladina kao posebna društvena grupa nije postojala jer je uključivanje u sferu rada započinjalo već u ranom detinjstvu, a deca su automatski postajala odrasli čim su počela privređivati za život. Razvojem tehonolškog društva javlja se potreba za sve kvalifikovanijom radnom snagom, što dovodi do masovnog školovanja, tj. odgađanja ulaska mladih u svet rada.

Omladina postaje predmet proučavanja sociologije nakon uviđanja da je biološka činjenica, poput starosnog doba, poprimila društvene konotacije i postala načelo društvene diferencijacije. Sociolozi omladine nisu saglasni u definisanju termina omladina, kao ni oko godina koje termin obuhvata. Neki kao omladinsko navode razdoblje od 15. do 25. neki do 30, a neki čak do 35. godine, u skladu sa tendencijama produženja mladosti u savremenom društvu.

Najvažnija obeležja omladine su: životno doba, razne socijalne konotacije koje društvo pridaje mladima, raskorak između psihofizičke i društvene zrelosti koji ima za posledicu neravnopravan društveni položaj mladih u odnosu na referentne grupe odraslih i izgrađivanje specifične omladinske svesti koja mlade razlikuje od sveta odraslih.

„Bejbi bum” u SAD posle Drugog svetskog rata je doveo do jačanja omladine kao društvene kategorije i do rađanja niza omladinskih pokreta i potkultura.

Around the world, the English terms-- youth, adolescent, teenager, kid, youngster and young person, are interchanged, often meaning the same thing,[6] but they are occasionally differentiated. Youth can be referred to as the time of life, when one is young. This includes childhood, and the time of life, which is neither childhood nor adulthood, but rather somewhere in between.[7][8] Youth also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very youthful". For certain uses, such as employment statistics, the term also sometimes refers to individuals from the ages of 14 to 21.[9] However, the term adolescence refers to a specific age range during a specific developmental period in a person's life, unlike youth, which is a socially constructed category.[4]

The United Nations defines youth as persons between the ages of roughly 15 and 24, with all UN statistics based on this range, the UN states education as a source for these statistics. The UN also recognizes that this varies without prejudice to other age groups listed by member states such as 18–30. A useful distinction within the UN itself can be made between teenagers (i.e. those between the ages of 13 and 19) and young adults (those between the ages of 20 and 29). While seeking to impose some uniformity on statistical approaches, the UN is aware of contradictions between approaches in its own statutes. Hence, under the 15–24 definition (introduced in 1981) children are defined as those under the age of 14 (someone 13 and younger) while under the 1979 Convention on the Rights of the Child, those under the age of 18 are regarded as children.[10] The UN also states they are aware that several definitions exist for youth within UN entities such as Youth Habitat 15–32, NCSL 12-24, and African Youth Charter 15–35.

On November 11, 2020, the State Duma of the Russian Federation approved a project to raise the cap on the age of young people from 30 to 35 years (the range now extending from 14 to 35 years).[11]

Although linked to biological processes of development and aging, youth is also defined as a social position that reflects the meanings different cultures and societies give to individuals between childhood and adulthood. The term in itself when referred to in a manner of social position can be ambiguous when applied to someone of an older age with very low social position; potentially when still dependent on their guardians.[12] Scholars argue that age-based definitions have not been consistent across cultures or times and that thus it is more accurate to focus on social processes in the transition to adult independence for defining youth.[13]

"This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease." – Robert Kennedy[14]

Youth is the stage of constructing the self-concept. The self-concept of youth is influenced by variables such as peers, lifestyle, gender, and culture.[15] It is a time of a person's life when their choices are most likely to affect their future.[16][17]

In much of sub-Saharan Africa, the term "youth" is associated with young men from 12 to 30 or 35 years of age. Youth in Nigeria includes all members of the Federal Republic of Nigeria aged 18–35.[18] Many African girls experience youth as a brief interlude between the onset of puberty and marriage and motherhood. But in urban settings, poor women are often considered youth much longer, even if they bear children outside of marriage. Varying culturally, the gender constructions of youth in Latin America and Southeast Asia differ from those of sub-Saharan Africa. In Vietnam, widespread notions of youth are sociopolitical constructions for both sexes between the ages of 15 and 35.[19]

In Brazil, the term youth refers to people of both sexes from 15 to 29 years old. This age bracket reflects the influence on Brazilian law of international organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO). It is also shaped by the notion of adolescence that has entered everyday life in Brazil through a discourse on children's rights.[19]

The OECD defines youth as "those between 15 and 29 years of age".[20][21]
