The Human Development Report for Mercosur - RDH-M (2009-2010) systematized a set of Qualitative and Quantitative Data on how young people perceive the educational and work world. The subjective elements - extracted from 295 interviews with youth leaders from the four countries that effectively comprised Mercosur in 2010 - make it possible to understand their perceptions of the world, their motivations, and perspectives. This is documentary research that gives centrality to the way in which RDH-M producers highlight young people's view of becoming, that is, their fears and hopes. The RDH-M writers demonstrate that positive expectations of job performance through increasing schooling are much more present among the wealthier youth. The poorest have many projects, expectations and hopes, however, seem to doubt, more intensely, whether the fulfillment of school cycles will, in fact, guarantee success in the world of work.
