Résumé anglais When youth is examined from the angle of the social differences arising from gender, the diversity of European youth becomes easier to understand. During the time lapse stretching from puberty to the conception of a first child, women and, by association, men, play out a decisive game. Their goal is to attain true equality which will henceforth define them as adults, before assuming their respective sexual roles : "one is the other" before "XY" to use the terms adopted by E Badinter. The duration of their studies, their sexuality, access to the work market, establishment of a couple and the decision to conceive all pivot around this goal while taking on very different configurations from one country to another, especially in terms of East to West and North to South, as demonstrated by statistical observations.
