"In this paper we analyse the cultural lifestyle of the 18-35 year-old population according to their place in the social structure and ethnicity. Two youth surveys from 2008 about the 18-35 age group form the empirical basis of our analysis, i.e. those ordered by the Romanian Ministry of Youth at national level, on a sample of 998 persons, separately analysing the Hungarian youth from Romania.

In the third part of our study we analyse the social disposition of young people from a stratification and cultural lifestyle perspective"--Abstract
