The research methodology includes the analysis of scientific and practical literature, the generalization of empirical data and the systematization of research results on the problem of economic socialization. Special attention is paid to the study of the impact of digital technologies, socio-cultural context and institutional conditions on the process of economic socialization. The results of the study show that modern economic socialization is characterized by going beyond traditional institutions, the active involvement of the digital space and the formation of new patterns of economic behavior. The key problems of each age group have been identified and the factors requiring special attention in the development of economic socialization programs have been identified.
