Abstract (Swedish)
Mexico has experienced the dramatic escalation of crime and violence in an organized form since the 1990s, and have also witnessed the highest number of homicides in the last ten years.

Mexico has experienced the dramatic escalation of crime and violence in an organized form since the 1990s, and have also witnessed the highest number of homicides in the last ten years. It has adversely affected the national security, economic growth and social development with an especially detrimental effect on youth in Mexico. This study examines the direct and indirect impacts of drug trade-related organized crime on secondary education and formal employment among youth in Mexico. The empirical evidence shows that poor social, economic and state structures create room for criminality among youth affecting them to lack interest in further education and formal employment to establish career ways. The notion of crime has been redefined as a practical employment trend rather than a divergent behaviour in the mindset of the young generation in the country. The empirical data and information also reflect the scenario of transition of youth from education and formal employment sector to informal sector, namely organized crime. Moreover, the study found Mexico experiencing a growing number of violence in school environments that are linked to drug trade-related organized crime affecting secondary school students to either adapt crime or dropout of educational system.
