These questions, which are at the center of this dissertation, are particularly relevant in Mexico City, where youth (10-29 years old) made up 43% of the population during this period and composed the bulk of those who responded to the economic, political, and cultural crises that marked the Lost Decade with the rise of neoliberalism.	cache/j6731260r2n.txt	txt/j6731260r2n.txt
