This work focuses attention on the analysis of the initiatives undertaken during the management of President Alexander Toledo and the present management of President Alan García. It analyzes the process followed in the creation and later decontamination of the National Council of Youth, and evaluates its character of mechanism of «participating inclusion» of youth, indicated during the management of President Toledo. Furthermore, it indicates the present work of the National Secretary of Youth, as part of the workings of the Ministry of Education, arisen from the reformation process of the State implemented by President García. It emphasizes the impacts that the policies of liberalization of markets have caused in Peruvian youth after the democratic transition was produced.
