Implementation of the state youth policy in Russia: regional aspect

The study discusses the implementation of the Russian state youth policy at the regional level. The authors demonstrate that the federal center and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are responsible for the implementation of the focal points of the policy. The main goals of the youth policy are to improve the environment for personal fulfillment of young people and develop their socially significant qualities. A model of the state youth policy is described. The authors emphasize that the state youth policy programs in regions should be based on priority federal purposes and reflect the unique and specific features of each entity of the Russian Federation. The state youth policy should be carried out in the context of the ethnic and cultural diversities and the specific nature of any Russian region. The focus is on the way to adapt the state youth policy to regional circumstances consisting of institutional, technological, and resource subsystems. In conclusion, the authors develop recommendations for enhancing the state youth policy at the regional level.
