Abstract

The objective of the research is to investigate PT and PSBD supporting youth in the state of São Paulo and question its organizational mode and relationship with respective parties, and whether it constitutes an appropriate space to the entry and training of new leaders, new board, officials from supporting bureaucracy and positions of trust in governments. This research will also investigate the relationship between the supporting youth and the other young groups and if this integrating channel has been established as a mechanism of framework of youth in political matter.
