Sažetak
The contribution discusses the profile of Croatian youth who are at the threshold of the country's full European Union membership. Youth attitudes, values and lifestyles are not only viewed as an anticipation of future trends, but also as indicative of the current situation in a wider society. The results of the surveys carried out by the authors in in 2009 and 2011 are compared to the results of several surveys that have been performed since the second half of the 1980s. These results suggest that, following a re-traditionalisation of youth in the first half of the 1990s and contradictory value orientations in the ensuing period, in most recent years one can note a certain "Europeanisation" of Croatian youth. This can be concluded on the basis of youth lifestlye types corresponding more closely to those found elsewhere in Europe. However, preliminary research results indicate that correspondence is found primarily with those lifestyles that can be classified as "conventional". Likewise, there is a worrying increase of intolerance among the secondary school students, in spite of generally heightened educational levels of young adults.
