Se revisan y analizan algunas creencias, estereotipos y representaciones sociales prevalentes en la sociedad occidental sobre la infancia, la adolescencia y la juventud, tanto en el presente, como en perspectiva histórica. Se ofrecen ejemplos de cómo han cambiado o están cambiando algunas de estas creencias o representaciones compartidas, y se señalan algunas de las consecuencias sociales y políticas que derivan de las mismas. Se subrayan tanto el reciente “descubrimiento” de la infancia como capital humano y social, como su potencial para generar nuevos datos, porque configuran una nueva oportunidad de hacer visibles diferentes aspectos de la sociedad que implican a los ciudadanos más jóvenes, y que han sido tradicionalmente invisibles. Un cambio de actitudes es necesario entre los adultos, incluidos los investigadores, para que sean posibles nuevas formas de relaciones intergeneracionales, y con ese propósito se analizan algunos retos cuyo abordaje posibilitaría nuevas dinámicas sociales.

Prevalent believes, stereotypes and social representations of childhood, adolescence and youth in the western society are overviewed and analysed at present, and also in historical perspective. Examples of how some of this shared believes and representations have changed or are changing recently are offered, and some of the subsequent social and political consequences are pointed out. The recent “discovery” of childhood as human and social capital and its potential to generate new data are underlined as a new opportunity to make socially visible different aspects of society involving citizen young people that have traditionally been invisible. A change of attitudes is needed among adults – including scientific researchers - to make possible new forms of intergenerational relationships and some challenges are analysed in order to make possible new social dynamics in that direction.
