This ethnographic study analyzes how cooperative societies that aim to improve people’s living standards are a resource used by young people both to struggle against inequalities that exist in the material and symbolic domains and to join the labor force in a social order shaped by hypermobile global capitalism. Although young people keep a cautious distance from traditional political actors (political parties, government institutions, etc.), they act flexibly and maintain circumstantial interdependent relations with these entities in order to further their plans and projects.
