The Youth Policy in Yurlinsky Municipal Area: Problems and Prospects

Nowadays, the implementation of state youth policy in the Russian Federation is undergoing significant changes. From the federal and regional level, the youth is shifting to the municipal level, where working with the vector of policy implementation by young people is characterized by the greatest problems, proximity, the greatest situationality and inconsistency. They leave their homeland for better self-realization opportunities. After all, it depends on the youth and its choice whether our small towns and rural settlements will empty out or liven up. The small number of the young population, the territorial fragmentation of settlements, the narrow range of youth policy instruments for local implementation, and the lack of qualified staff make the youthpolicy process level not always effective. The local self-government reform of the Russian Federation and the creation of the local municipal districts in 2019 forced to look at youth policy in a new way. This paper analyzes the current sphere of the youth situation in the municipal districts of Russia, and in particular in Yurlinsky municipal district of Perm Region. The need for its further improvement as a key condition for increasing the degree of integration of youth in the socio-economic, political and socio-cultural relations of their territories, has been updated. The municipal government in the field of the youth policy has been identified, and measures have been proposed in order to further develop and enhance youth work in municipal districts. The results of the study can become the foundation for the development of youth policies in other regions.
