Sažetak
The investigation of the interests and leisure of youth enabled an insight into some important characteristics of their everyday life, their preoccupations and behavior. The results obtained for the most part do not deviate from the findings known from earlier research into the Croatian youth. The comparison of results from 1986 and 1999 showed that changes noticeably engulfed the distribution of interests and activities in the youth's leisure time, in the manner that the interest for most of the observed phenomena grew, and the participation in most compared activities decreased. This discrepancy shows that today's generation of young people cannot be spoken of as lethargic, but more as an impelled passive and impoverished generation. This increase of interest and a simultaneous decrease of participation point to the frustration of the young when trying to dedicate themselves to what they care for in their free time, and this must be related with the general fall in the living standard of the Croatian population. The deprivation from participating in the desired activities must surely increase the interest in certain phenomena that are closely related to those activities. In other words, the harder some interests become to satisfy, the more important they become.
