Abstract
(analytical): The objective of this research has been to analyze the Chilean state’s discourse on the protection of children and young people’s rights. We used quantitative and qualitative methodologies to carry out this research that were focused on an analysis of the discourse of the Chilean state. The main finding is that young people under the age of 18 play secondary roles in government policies and are not considered social actors in the Chilean state’s discourse on children and young people. In addition, they don’t or can’t express opinions and they are discriminated against when they form part of a precarious social context or they have broken the law. In conclusion, the study affirms that the discourse of the Chilean state goes against the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, signed on the 20th of November 1990.
Key words: Chile, discourse, State, childhood, youth, participation (Social Sciences Unesco Thesaurus).
