SUMMARY:

The present work aims to understand social inequalities in Luanda (Angola), with a specific focus on the dramas and suffering experienced by young Angolans who live in situations of social vulnerability. Faced with these phenomena, the State has the power to create strategic policies to combat these social problems that have long led several families into situations of extreme poverty, even more so, Angola, which is an underdeveloped country with complex challenges that is slowly moving towards economic and social development as well as ideal public transparency and a more consolidated democracy. That said, it is essential to bring sociological themes to help us understand the developments, trajectories and perspectives of this area since they are directly linked to all of us citizens regardless of race, sex, religion or education. To achieve our objectives and the research problem presented in the investigation, the qualitative method was used through both bibliographical and field research, as well as face-to-face interviews. Furthermore, the methodological approach will rely on the comprehensive method in order to analyze the subjective meanings of the lived experiences of young Angolans in situations of social inequality. The empirical investigation of the dramas and sufferings of young Angolans was carried out based on interviews, comprehensive studies and observation of relevant archives. Young people from different social and economic situations were chosen to participate in the research. The interlocutors during the interviews were invited to express their challenges, difficulties, experiences and their stories. In which themes related to unemployment, lack of opportunities, lack of professional training, crime, rejection and the issue of social pressure were raised. It is noted that one of the main results found in the empirical study is the increase in the unemployment rate, and extreme poverty among young Angolans in the capital-Luanda, mainly in peripheral areas, in the lack of access to education, health, essential services, marginalization, social exclusion and violence. In which several of these young participants show that they find themselves in a situation of abandonment, disillusioned, unmotivated and excluded in society and that they do not see the public and social policies implemented by the Angolan government to improve their lives, especially for young Angolans, who demand about the insufficiencies of social programs and projects that serve adolescents and young people. It is understood that it is necessary to create strategic policies to implement appropriate public policies, in order to reduce or combat social asymmetries and providing the insertion of young people in the community. And it is necessary that these policies are applied so that young people are able to demonstrate or deal with their dramas and suffering.
