We present in this paper partial results of two empirical investigations conducted in 2015 and 2019 among students of different genders and social classes from public and private high schools in the Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA). Our purpose is to provide knowledge that contributes to the understanding of the link with citizenship and politics of young people close to vote for the first time in executive elections in two different political moments and in relation to changes in the dynamics of youth politicization in a context of political polarization of society. In order to do so, we analyze in a comparative and integrative key, the following thematic axes that were studied in the quantitative instance of both investigations: the importance attributed to voting, the trust in “politics” and “politicians” and the valuation of citizenship practices.
