A sociological profile of today's youth in Croatia can be outlined on the basis of results of this research, the aim of which was to establish and analyse attitudes and behavioural patterns of youth in Croatian society, which is going through a period of crisis and significant changes. In addition to insights on youth, research results enable insight into some phenomena and processes of the contemporary society at the local and global level. The study is modelled on the extensive Shell youth studies that have been conducted regularly in Germany since 1953, at three- to four-year intervals, and have proved to be a reliable seismograph for society’s mid-term development prospects.
