This article is devoted to the study of youth policy and youth problems in the municipality. Youth is currently one of the priority segments of management at all levels of the territorial organization - federal, regional, local. The authors determined that the solution of youth problems, management of youth policy should take into account the interests and characteristics of all subjects at all levels of territorial organization. The article presents data on the budget expenditures of the municipality for youth policy and health improvement of children, and concludes that they have decreased in dynamics. At the same time, the combination of state power and local self-government depends on the level of resolution of the problem of differentiation of subjects of competence and powers between state authorities and local self-government bodies. It is formulated that the criterion of effectiveness of youth policy is the correspondence of actual indicators to the target indicators of the state program of the Udmurt Republic “Development of physical culture, sports and youth policy”. The authors analyzed the indicators of social effectiveness of the implementation of youth policy in the municipality. Based on the analysis, a conclusion is formulated about the decrease in the number of young families during the considered period. The number of young people registered with the diagnosis “alcoholism” is lower than the planned indicators, however, in fact, there is no decrease in the number of such young people. An extremely alarming trend of growth in the number of young people aged 14-30 years registered with the diagnosis “narcomania” was revealed. In conclusion, the authors identify the main problems of modern youth policy in the municipality “city of Sarapul” and formulate the directions of their solution.

Further Development

Migration of young people to big cities, active outflow of population to other regions of the country and for permanent residence in foreign countries forces to search more and more actively for new methods and technologies both to inform young people about their opportunities in the territory, and to change tools for retention for further development of cities and small settlements. In most cases the analysis of state and municipal policies for working with youth is determined by the economic sense, that is, the economic and financial efficiency of implemented programs is analyzed. The authors approached the problem under consideration from the sociological point of view in order to determine the needs directly from the subject, as well as to assess the managerial and organizational problems and obstacles to increasing the importance of activities for young citizens. The testing ground for the study was the Chaikovsky urban district in Perm Krai (population 103,000, medium-sized city).

The article discusses current issues of reforming the territorial organization of local self-government in order to improve the quality of resolving issues of local importance, fixed by federal law for certain types of municipalities. The legal literature currently summarizes the law enforcement practice on this issue, which indicates the presence of a number of problems that need to be resolved. These include the discrepancy between the objects of competence and the powers and territories ensuring their implementation. Some controversial aspects are considered in this article: the directions of reforming the territorial organization of local self-government and attributes of municipalities are identified; the basic regulatory acts in a temporary context and their effect in modern condition are analyzed; the levels of territorial organization are indicated and the difficulties of resolving issues of local importance are revealed. Finally, using the example of municipalities of the Udmurt Republic, the main approaches to the reorganization of inefficient territories related to municipal management are explained, which justifies the expediency of municipal reform and the need for its generalization in scientific research.

The youth policy represents the major strategic direction of the general policy of the state. The regional factor of youth policy becomes a key factor in the development of the territories. The current stage of the development of the Russian Federation defines young people as a special resource for the development of the state, which has specific features. However, for the competent participation of young people in developing of Russia and in particular of its regions the conditions for social changes in the global world dictate the need for increased attention on the part of the state in the formation and development of young people. Reducing the number of young people by 2025, due to a number of challenges, justifies the priority status of youth policy as an object of state support. From the standpoint of the regional development, youth policy should be given a differentiated character, taking into account the demographic characteristics of the territories.The particular attention is paid to the program-targeted methods of supporting the youth policy of the Volgograd region, the priority areas of which are: civil-patriotic and spiritual-moral upbringing; involvement of youth in volunteer activities; support for socially significant initiatives; formation of a healthy lifestyle, including the organization of recreation and health improvement of children, support of young families. Priority directions of realization of the state youth policy of the region are being considered.

The article analyzes the features of the current youth policy of the Russian Federation aimed at raising the political culture. Despite the current activities of the government institutions in the field under study, absenteeism, as well as the protest potential of the young people, remains at a fairly high level. In this regard, the government acknowledged the importance of forming a positive image of the state power in the eyes of young people and strengthen its influence in the sphere of forming loyal associations, which is not always positively perceived among the youth. The work focuses on the fact that raising the loyalty of youth organizations is one of the factors of political stability, both in case of internal turbulence and external influence. The authors also focus on the beneficiaries of youth protests. The authors paid special attention to the issue of forming political leadership among the youth and the absence of leaders expressing the opinions of young people in modern Russian politics. At the same time, youth protest as a social phenomenon lack class and in some cases ideological differences. The authors come to the conclusion that despite the steps taken by the government and political parties to involve Russian youth in the political agenda, the young people reject leaders of youth opinion imposed by the authorities, either cultivating nonparticipation in the electoral campagines or demonstrating latent protest voting.

Outcome 5 of the Irish Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures national youth policy framework (“Connected, respected, and contributing to their world”) offers a suitable way to study psychosocial determinants of adolescent health. The present study (1) provides nationally representative data on how 15- to 17-year-olds score on these indicators; (2) compares sexual minority (same- and both-gender attracted youth) with their non-minority peers. We analyzed data from 3354 young people (aged 15.78 ± 0.78 years) participating in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Ireland. Age and social class were associated with the indicators only to a small extent, but girls were more likely than boys to report discrimination based on gender and age. Frequency of positive answers ranged from 67% (feeling comfortable with friends) to 12% (being involved in volunteer work). Sexual minority youth were more likely to feel discriminated based on sexual orientation, age, and gender. Both-gender attracted youth were less likely than the other groups to report positive outcomes. Same-gender attracted youth were twice as likely as non-minority youth to volunteer. The results indicate the importance of a comprehensive approach to psycho-social factors in youth health, and the need for inclusivity of sexual minority (especially bisexual) youth.

In the article, the authors pay attention to the issue of value preferences of Russian youth on the example of the one of the regions of the Russian Federation – the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass. The problem of political activity of young people is considered through the system of current legislation on youth, socialization and directly value orientations and preferences of young people. The main legal acts regulating youth policy in the Russian Federation are marked. As an empirical basis a number of methodological approaches were used-the system approach (D. Easton, G. Almond), the normative-value approach of J. Rawls, a method of expert interviews and questionnaire survey. The article shows the inconsistency of the value beliefs of modern youth, which is caused by the Russian model of democratic development.

This chapter examines how young protest campers in post-1968 Mexico City engage in political education to the effect of reconfiguring places of ritualized activism and cultivating spaces of politics. The analysis identifies two countervailing processes: 1) political education creatively drawing on material and symbolic resources that sediment in places to intensify political antagonism, and 2) political education paradoxically reifying sedimented identities and vocabularies through which state power is exercised. The focus on young protest campers channelling their activism through categories by which the 1968 student movement and its repression are commemorated reveals that this mode of social reproduction may maintain a police order protest campers ostensibly converge to disrupt. It also shows that, for young people channelled along a lifecourse trajectory towards adulthood, political education may enable young activists to creatively articulate solidarities for more thoroughgoing disruption of state power.

The article is concerned with the phenomenon of extremism among youth. Analyzing the features of modern youth extremism the authors substantiated their conditioning by social, age, historical, and cultural factors. Young people tend to protest and reject the existing system, all-or-nothing thinking. While the phenomena identified as extremism today, repeatedly arose in the process of historical social development. A distinctive feature of the majority of extremist organizations at the present time is their focus on the issues of national identity or the political structure of the Russian society and state, using the principles of a totalitarian sect. In their activities destructive religious organizations themselves are also, as a rule, based on radical ideas, which is why they are recognized as extremist. The article presents the findings of the sociological study conducted in Saratov’s higher educational institutions. Based on the analysis of the study results the authors came to the conclusion that extremist sentiments among student youth are growing towards representatives of various nationalities and religions. The authors assumed that in order to successfully counter youth extremism, first and foremost it is necessary to clearly distinguish its causes, rooted in the society itself and shortcomings of state youth policy, from the forms of its manifestation that have social and group specific features.
