In this article I propose to analyze the social construction of youth among the population of Yaxcabá, Yucatán, Mexico, using ethno-history, linguistics and anthropology. I demonstrate the continuity and differences of what it means to be young in Mayan culture, paying attention to the differences and inequalities between men and women, shown by Mayan language and certain social practices and beliefs. I finally analyze what high school students think about what it means to be Maya, to be young and whether or not they conceive themselves as Mayans.

Training Expectations

Entrepreneurship education was introduced as a formal discipline in vocational training programs in the late 1990s. This study reflects on the relevance of this education to entrepreneurship in terms of the persistence of unemployment and the underemployment of graduates. Its general objective is to analyze the influence of the satisfaction of the training expectations of the trainees on their propensity to undertake. The survey was carried out at the Yopougon Business Professional High School and the Riviera Professional Hotel School. The instrument used to capture the level of satisfaction of trainees' expectations and their entrepreneurial propensity is a questionnaire with scales of measurement with three categories of response. The results establish a growing monotonous relationship between the satisfaction of the trainees expectations and their propensity to undertake. These results also indicate that satisfying three of the expectations expressed by trainees has a significant influence on their propensity to undertake. Entrepreneurship education is an effective strategy for the social construction of vocational integration through entrepreneurship among trainees in vocational training.

Per Se

The article examines social conditions and mechanisms of the emergence in 1982 of a «Dutch» strawberry auction in Fontaines-en-Sologne, France. Empirical study of this case shows that perfect market does not arise per se due to an «invisible hand». It is a social construction, which could only be put into effect by a hard struggle between stakeholders and large investments of different forms of capital. Ordinary practices of the market dont differ from the predictions of economic theory, which is explained by the fact that economic theory served as a frame of reference for the designers of the auction. Technological and spatial organization as well as principal rules of trade was elaborated in line with economic views of perfect market resulting in the correspondence between theory and reality.
