Description
Summary:The article examines the middleization of Brazil’s young generation, analyzing their rise to the middle classes in the 21st century and the impacts of Covid-19 on their future expectations.

We identified three clusters that elucidates how, during the pandemic, there was greater pessimism among low-capital youth and optimism among higher-capital strata, which also differ according to capital composition. The results highlight the relationship between temporal dispositions and the structural positions of agents.
