Full textAbstract:
The article studies youth tourism as a part of social tourism and a component of travelling system, which is characterized by social and economic features and impact by different factors and conditions. Theoretical and empiric research of youth tourism is topical, which is stipulated by such qualities of the younger generation as mobility, striving for cognition and today’s possibilities to organize leisure time and travelling. Due to complicated situation connected with COVID-19 and closing borders with foreign countries fast development of internal tourism is observed. The authors underlined specific features of youth tourism and showed its ties with territorial factors and conditions of future development. General academic methods, such as content-analysis, sociological method (survey was conducted among students of universities and colleges) and statistic methods: grouping, average-mean arithmetical ones were used in the research. While studying academic views of home and overseas scientists concerning youth tourism the authors paid attention to the importance of social and cultural components envisaged by travelling motivation for the given group of tourists and the impact of factors and conditions connected with regional features. It was pointed out that to plan the youth tourism development it is necessary to take into account preferences of young people in travel programs and events, various relations in social groups during holidays and travels, paying special attention on social and cultural components.

Full textAbstract:
This special issue examines the linguistic production of youth identities under conditions of cultural mobility. Building on theories of migration, transnationalism, and globalization that have emerged in anthropology, cultural studies, and other fields, the contributions to the special issue investigate not simply the large-scale cultural and political processes that shape the lives of youth but equally how youth identities emerge through the fine-grained details of interactional work and local linguistic practice. The introduction lays out the major themes that run through the special issue: the importance of scholarly attentiveness to the diversity of youth identities; the recognition of youth as social agents moving across national boundaries both physically and symbolically; the role of local ethnographic practice in investigations of global and transnational phenomena and especially the centrality of interaction as the primary site of social life; and the significance of language as a key resource for the articulation and negotiation of social identities, relations, and processes.

Full textAbstract:
The high importance of mass creative culture and the active digitalization of all spheres of life, combined with social restrictions during the pandemic, are caused changes in society's perception of cultural and social values. These affect the most psychologically flexible social group, the youth, who are equally open to any innovation and dependent on the socio-psychological and cultural environment. The article raises the problem of formation of an artist-person in the period of digitalization from the point of view of the development of creative potential. Based on a systematic approach and the results of participant observation of the behavior and development of creative users of social networks, the socio-psychological features of the activities of Internet authorities as intermediaries between a person and the cultural environment, as well as the influence of trends in modern online platforms on the creative potential of an individual, were analyzed. A multi-level model of the creative development of a person in the network was presented, taking into account the risks and negative impact from the Internet society. The model includes the stages: passive observation, repetition of the mass pattern, creative activity, separation the art from creativity, and the art level itself. The most dangerous are the passive-affective and detached-creative levels, at which the influence of society on the developing creative personality is strongest and most unpredictable. The results are interesting for specialists in the field of cultural studies, sociology, social psychology, and pedagogical theory and practice in the context of the digital transformation of education.

Abstract Background Social media data may augment understanding of the disease and treatment experiences and quality of life of youth with chronic medical conditions. Little is known about the willingness to share social media data for health research among youth with chronic medical conditions and the differences in health status between sharing and nonsharing youth with chronic medical conditions. Objective We aimed to evaluate the associations between patient-reported measures of disease symptoms and functioning and the willingness to share social media data. Methods Between February 2018 and August 2019, during routine clinic visits, survey data about social media use and the willingness to share social media data (dependent variable) were collected from adolescents in a national rheumatic disease registry. Survey data were analyzed with patient-reported measures of disease symptoms and functioning and a clinical measure of disease activity, which were collected through a parent study. We used descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression to compare patient-reported outcomes between youth with chronic medical conditions who opted to share social media data and those who did not opt to share such data. Results Among 112 youths, (age: mean 16.1, SD 1.6 y; female: n=72, 64.3%), 83 (74.1%) agreed to share social media data. Female participants were more likely to share (P=.04). In all, 49 (43.8%) and 28 (25%) participants viewed and posted about rheumatic disease, respectively. Compared to nonsharers, sharers reported lower mobility (T-score: mean 49.0, SD 9.4 vs mean 53.9, SD 8.9; P=.02) and more pain interference (T-score: mean 45.7, SD 8.8 vs mean 40.4, SD 8.0; P=.005), fatigue (T-score: mean 49.1, SD 11.0 vs mean 39.7, SD 9.7; P<.001), depression (T-score: mean 48.1, SD 8.9 vs mean 42.2, SD 8.4; P=.003), and anxiety (T-score: mean 45.2, SD 9.3 vs mean 38.5, SD 7.0; P<.001). In regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, study site, and Physician Global Assessment score, each 1-unit increase in symptoms was associated with greater odds of willingness to share social media data, for measures of pain interference (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 1.07, 95% CI 1.001-1.14), fatigue (AOR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.13), depression (AOR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.13), and anxiety (AOR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03-1.18). Conclusions High percentages of youth with rheumatic diseases used and were willing to share their social media data for research. Sharers reported worse symptoms and functioning compared to those of nonsharers. Social media may offer a potent information source and engagement pathway for youth with rheumatic diseases, but differences between sharing and nonsharing youth merit consideration when designing studies and evaluating social media–derived findings.

Abstract This article provides a chronological analysis of the Oromo social movements that have contributed to the recent major political changes in Ethiopia. It draws on theories of nonviolent social movements, political defiance, and the transition approach of democratization in analyzing the chain of event that led to political changes in early 2018. This helps put the protests in perspective in terms of Ethiopia's political trajectory, explaining how youth activists have played a role in advancing the conditions for the transition to democracy, bringing together fragmented, rival political forces and social groups in the interest of challenging the status quo and toppling a deeply entrenched authoritarian regime.

The purpose of the article is to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the organisation of leisure of Ukrainian youth. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis of the national system of actions to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection, implemented by the Ukrainian government; analytical, structural and logical, comparative methods that allowed us to consider the legal status, educational and leisure activity of young people in Ukraine, international experience of youth participation in social projects to counter the spread of COVID-19; the method of theoretical generalisation, used to summarise the results; cultural approach, which helped to identify factors of influence of national measures on the activities of cultural and creative industries. Scientific novelty. In this study, we present three creative initiatives of Ukrainian youth to organise their own leisure activities, which were launched during the lockdown and created on the basis of the rich potential of national cultural heritage and folk traditions. Conclusions. In response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukrainian state has developed a system of measures to prevent it. Despite a large number of places for leisure, sports, and creative activities in Ukraine, lockdown restrictions and bans caused by COVID-19 led to their closure, and young people focused on leisure at home, creative self-development, and selforganisation of their free time. It is determined that the best international experience of youth activity in countering the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic is realised mainly in the social dimension. The young people of Ukraine do not stand aside from the global challenges of our time, but initiate unique creative developments under pandemic conditions. Ukrainian creative initiatives are presented, including the online project #GlobalLesyaUkrainka2021 and the successful experience of self-organisation of leisure activities by students of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts (Challenge#Lovynamysto and Winter Magic Fest).

Full textAbstract:
The Salafi movement in Tunisia in general and in the area of Sidi Ali Ben Aoun in particular, emerged as an antisocial movement that adopted the defense of a cultural identity based mainly on the rejection of democracy and the foundations of the modern state, seeking change in every way through a set of well-studied strategies that made young people deeply involved. In general, the Salafi movement is not separated from the social context in which it was born. It is also a reflection of the social actors who, by engaging in the Salafi movement, desire to achieve their objectives in negotiations. The Salafi movement is a social movement born out of the womb of society and its crises. It then adopted the same society, which has been muddling in the ignorance of religion and worldly dichotomies, as a target for change. This study attributes the growth in the number of Salafist youth to social exclusion. The social conditions of the youth in the Tunisian town of Sidi Ali Ben Aoun and of Tunisian youth in general make them look for alternatives that will provides them with what the state and its institutions failed to provide: an income and a small capital that will elevate their status in the social pyramid as belonging to the surviving group. The research will focus on the relationship between the social exclusion of Tunisian youth and the growing involvement of the Salafi movement. The following questions reflect the core issues behind this investigation: What are the representations of the youth of Sidi Ali Ben Aoun to the Salafi movement in their actions and interactions? How does social exclusion contribute to the growing involvement of Tunisian and Ben Aouni youth in the Salafi movement?

The conducted discussion is embedded in pedagogy of youth, Robert Merton’s theory of social adaptation, the concept of intercultural education and the concept of “intercultural identity” by Jerzy Nikitorowicz. In the article, the strategies are presented of the adaptation of young inhabitants of the Polish-Czech borderland to school conditions and the requirements of social life. The results of some diagonal studies among secondary school learners, conducted 13 years apart, indicated two dominant strategies of conformism and innovation, revealed a slight decrease in the average value of conformism (3%) and a significant increase in the average value of innovation (22% change). In that context, the features of permanent socialization taking place in the conditions of the Polish-Czech borderland were indicated: dynamism, bidirectionality, functioning/being “in-between”, cultural pattern, the principle of continuum. Empirically determined adaptation strategies of youth show how young people handle a complex reality and how they can join the mainstream of social life.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a review of studies on the problem of professional self-determination in adolescence in the aspect of the development of future professionalism, based on the specifics of the laws of age development, which expands the traditional sociological, sociopsychological and differential psychological representations accepted in the literature. Cross-cultural and ethno-cultural differences in the development of professional self-determination are considered. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the prerequisites for the development of the components of such a megastructure of professional maturity as career adaptability, defined as the ability to respond flexibly to dynamically changing requirements and conditions of professional activity, using psychological resources of self-development. It is shown that in the transition from adolescence to youth, adaptability to a career means a balance between interest in a future profession and a realization of the realism of the realization of professional expectations through awareness of their resources and capabilities. In the framework of the Social Cognitive Theory of Professional Development (SCCT), the analysis of complex systems and the social interaction, the concept of strong and weak ties, nonspecific and specific influence, the article discusses the role of sociocognitive and creative factors as mediators which until now have been little studied in relation to the process of professional self-determination in adolescence and young age. The studies revealed the influence of social intelligence on the interest of adolescents and youths in the subject content and social status of the future profession and in interpersonal professional culture. Also, there is a correlation between social intelligence and the second component of the “career adaptability” mega-structure, such as curiosity and orientation in the requirements of the profession, professional expectations (career curiosity). Modern research shows a significant correlation between creativity and the first component (career concern) — planning your own professional future, especially in the early stages of professional self-determination.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on twenty-four months of ethnographic research, this article examines the role of violence among northern Thai youth gangs at the intersection of global capitalism and local culture. Contrary to dominant representations that depict youth gang violence as a means for psychologically coping as victims of dramatic social change, I argue that youth violence may be viewed as active and creative ways of negotiating change under conditions of rapid urbanization and modernization. For gang youth in northern Thailand, violence offers an opportunity to “fit in and stick out” in an anonymous cosmopolitan city. While some Chiang Mai youth subcultures draw primarily on global cultural resources as a means of standing out and enhancing one’s “subcultural capital,” northern Thai youth gangs rely more heavily on local culture to achieve status and a sense of self-worth, particularly in relation to enduring Thai values of masculinity centered on notions of invulnerability.

Linguistic studies of youth language in adolescents are a subject matter of sociolinguistics which, for its part, explores certain social and cultural conditions. This sphere of interest incorporates the following lexical and lexicographical issues and also some pragmalinguistic aspects, such as ways of greeting, supportive reactions to conversations, interjections, etc. The formation of new words and phrases in the vocabulary of youngsters has aroused great interest from the perspective of sociolinguistics to highlight the topicality of social role and age, and the interrelation between gender and language.

Full textAbstract:
Several studies conducted on street youth have focused on causes of homelessness, their engagement in risky sexual behaviours and the prevalence of STIs, including HIV/AIDS. Although homeless youth are considered resilient, sparse literature exists on factors that promote resilience in this vulnerable group. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 purposively selected homeless children and youth (with a mean age of 14 years) from the Central Business District of Accra, Ghana. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings showed that a strong religious belief, sense of humour, engagement in meaningful social interactive activities, reciprocal friendship, adherence to cultural norms and support from community-based organizations were identified as factors that help homeless youth cope with the multiple challenges of street life. Strengthening such protective factors could help ameliorate the impact of adverse conditions of these street youth.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of social behaviour of young people of the Tuva Republic belonging to the main ethnic groups of the region (Tuvinians and Russians), challenges and risks of their adaptation to modern living conditions. The relevance of the research topic is due to the importance of youth for the development of Russian society, including at the regional level. The aim of the work is to identify the peculiarities of the dynamics of young people's value attitudes in the sphere of professional and labour employment, as well as the peculiarities of young people's adaptation to market processes. In this regard, the authors separately consider the models of youth adaptation to new market realities, as well as the dynamics of formation of socio-cultural types of youth groups. A special place is given to the study of the specificity of value priorities of young people, the forms and content of which to a certain extent differ from the values of previous generations. The presented research was carried out using the methods of system analysis of socio-economic processes in the region, analysis of data from sociological surveys of young Tuva residents using special computer programs (SPSS). Based on the comparative retrospective analysis of the materials of the studies conducted under the authors' supervision in 2010, 2015 and 2021, the conclusion is made about the specifics of the formation of values of young people in the Republic of Tuva, which should be taken into account when designing regional social development programmes. The authors found a gradual transformation of the models of social adaptation of the new generation to modern realities, the transition from passive forms to a more active type of integration into the economy, which is more in line with its requirements. The peculiarity of adaptation processes among young Tuvinian respondents is a higher proportion of those who are committed to doing their own business. Russian youth are still more passive: they mainly take the position of verbal intentions to find their niche in the labour sphere, postpone their active actions for the future, which determines the lower speed of adaptation of Russian youth to modern conditions compared to Tuvan youth.

Full textAbstract:
This article reflects on the concept of ‘queer generations’ as developed in the context of an ongoing study about belonging and sexual citizenship among two social generations of gender and sexual minority youth in Australia. We define the concepts ‘queer’ and ‘generations’ in the context of recent theoretical interest in temporality in childhood and youth studies in an attempt to think differently about gender and sexual difference. The main theoretical tension that lies at the heart of this article is how to take seriously the shared experience of growing up LGBT without insisting on a uniform narrative that is inherent to it. Drawing on an archival fragment from an HIV campaign produced in Australia and distributed in the 1990s and targeted at young gay and bisexual men, we consider the shifting conditions through which visibility has featured as a key problem for the deployment of sexual citizenship. This archival fragment is valuable because of the way that it problematizes the in/out, visible/invisible, gay/straight binaries that have dogged attempts to grapple with the at once individual and collective experience of growing up LGBT. The concept of ‘queer generations’ suggests critical insights into the limits and affordances of the production of generations as containers for generalized experience.

In this study we examined the negotiation of romantic relationships by urban youth, as discussed in focus groups, in a multicultural community. We compared these urban-student findings for an emergent fit with previously reported findings from more homogeneous groups of rural students. The unifying category, <em>wrestling with gender expectations</em>, which was identified in the rural studies, also emerged in the present study. A new unifying category represented urban participants’ <em>balancing cultural expectations</em> in the contexts of their families and social groups. Three categories from the former rural studies emerged in the present urban study: <em>making sacrifices</em>, <em>showing respect</em>, and <em>standing up for oneself</em>; and a new category emerged: <em>communicating</em>. While the rural students identified <em>media</em> as critical contextual conditions for romantic relationships, the current urban teens identified <em>digital and social media</em> as crucial contextual conditions in dating relationships. Together, these findings suggest the importance of considering cultural and contextual aspects of youths’ dating processes for developing a grounded theory that reflects aspects of teens’ relational lives. Implications of this emergent theory are explored, and directions for future research are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The youth center in a general education institution play an important role in the development of students’ socio-emotional skills. Socio-emotional learning (SEL) are considered to be an asset necessary for academic and personal success. They include a variety of characteristics, such as communication, empathy, self-regulation, conflict resolution, and many others, which are defined as «21st century skills». A youth center in a school acts as a platform for developing these skills by providing students with opportunities to interact, collaborate, and develop as individuals. The creation of a youth center is based on student participation in the process of its formation, which contributes to the implementation of the key levels of understanding of SEL: knowledge acquisition, critical thinking and embodied understanding. Studies show that the vast majority of students support the initiative to create a youth center, which indicates the need for a safe place for self-realization and socialization. The Youth Center offers a variety of areas for student development, including a coworking space, a lounge area, and a media area. Each of these areas creates a favorable environment for free expression and development of students’ abilities. The youth center creates a safe environment for socialization and development of these skills. The youth center involves the active participation of students in the creation of the center, which contributes to their personal development. The main areas of influence of the youth center that contribute to the comprehensive development of students are: education, leisure, volunteering, social adaptation,cultural life, sports and health, psychological safety, civic position and career development. A great advantage of opening youth centers in educational institutions is the openness of their space, namely, regardless of social status, any student can attend such a center; students themselves choose what will be held in the youth center; all conditions of the center provide for barrier-free access and provide comfortable conditions for everyone. The creation of a youth center will promote social interaction, self-expression, emotional literacy and conflict resolution, which are important components of personal development and adaptation in the modern world.

Modern Russia is undergoing changes, including religion. In the Soviet Union, in contrast to the Western world, there was not only an active and rapid social secularization, but also a violent atheization of the population. As for the youth, due to the notorious atheism, there was a lack of youth’s religiosity. After the collapse of the USSR, it became necessary to implement effective measures so that Orthodoxy could adequately respond to the “challenge of the time”. Under these conditions, the organization of work with youth in the ROC began to revive. The major research objective was to study the Russian Orthodox Church’s main forms of work with youth in the post-Soviet period. Our research was conducted in the Ural region, one of the largest regions of the Russian Federation. The research methodology used a qualitative approach (in-depth interviews). Our research, based on informants’ opinions, has identified three forms of groups who work with the Russian youth through the Russian Orthodox Church. They are: traditional church forms (organizing groups for the study of the Holy Scriptures, doctrinal (catechism) classes, missionary activities, etc.), traditional secular forms (children’s and youth’s camps, young family clubs, sports and military-patriotic clubs, addiction prevention and social projects, etc.) and innovative forms (Internet projects, Internet communities, Orthodox forums, Orthodox cafes, bars, etc.). Our study has revealed that religious phenomena and manifestations of religiosity are observed in totally different areas, such as cultural, economic, educational, leisure, etc. The study has elucidated that the work of the Russian Orthodox Church fits into the framework of this paradigm, thus confirming T. Luckmann’s theory.

The Scout and Polish Scouting movement is characterized by the possibility of meeting and cooperation of people from different backgrounds and cultures. A natural thing for this social movement is daily confrontation with Otherness/ Alienness in conditions of cultural diversity and undertaking various forms of educational activity based on the idea of interculturalism. The study presents some partial results of a research project devoted to the content referring to the idea of interculturalism and education in the conditions of cultural diversity, present in the program studies of the scouting movement. These studies contribute to the historical trend of intercultural pedagogy and the history of education in the context of ideological assumptions and activities of children and youth organizations. The article contains a description of the applied conceptual categories and the characteristics of the precursors and the contemporary scouting movement. In a chronological order, it presents a selection of examples of the content of scouting program studies that are related to the idea of interculturalism and intercultural education.

Full textAbstract:
The psychological factors of the emigration intentions of young people, the growth of which is observed today in various countries of the world, are analysed based on the data of numerous international studies. The scientific significance of this analysis, on the one hand, is due to the lack of Russian psychological works that systematize and popularize the relevant information, on the other hand, it is associated with the need to subsequently correlate the results of international and Russian studies in order to identify common supra-cultural and specific psychological factors that affect the emigration intentions of young people. The psychological driving forces of the emigration intentions of young people considered in international studies are diverse and correspond to different levels of personality activity (individual, interpersonal and macrosocial). They correlate with general groups of factors contributing to emigration. The factors reflecting the emerging opportunities for emigration are related to positive attitudes towards emigration in general, the consideration of emigration as a way to achieve significant goals, a low degree of attachment to the country of origin, dissatisfaction with the existing living conditions, and positive attitudes towards the country where young people intend to move to. The psychological factors associated with the availability of social support include the support they receive from their families as well as relevant interpersonal contacts they have abroad. The group of factors related to personal resources for overcoming emerging obstacles correlates with expressed career aspirations, high motivation for power and achievements, insignificant motivation for affiliation, extraversion, openness to new experience, desire for risk, change and new impressions, openness to the world and cultural differences, readiness to interaction with others, faith in other religions and nationalities, self-efficacy, ability to cope with the ambivalence of emerging emotions and feelings, a high level of education, proficiency in foreign languages, and experience of international mobility. The obtained data can be used to conduct empirical psychological studies on the driving forces of the emigration activity of young people in Russia and other countries.

Background: People who identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and others (LGBTQ+) go through a process of self-exploration and self-identification during adolescence, and the process resolves when one decides to self-disclosure. The experience of ‘Coming Out’ (CO) can be positive, leading to acceptance and a feeling of liberation, or it can be harmful, leading to stigma, humiliation, and discrimination, subsequently leading to significant psychological distress. Aim: This study was to do a narrative review on the studies published in the area/topic of CO in youth in the last decade (2012-2022) and to look for factors that act as barriers and facilitators of CO. Additionally, we have tried to look for differences in CO in LGBTQ+ adolescents and youth in the Western world vis-a-vis Indian/Eastern societies. Materials and Methods: An extensive literature search in electronic databases, PUBMED, Web of Science, EMBASE, Medline, Scopus, and search engine ‘Google Scholar’ using specific search terms and assessment of all published articles until 20th May 2023 was done. Results: Twenty-three studies were found eligible for data extraction, which discussed the problems faced during the CO process. Most of the studies are from developed countries, and only one is from India. Eleven were qualitative studies, 11 were cross-sectional studies, and one was a case study. The qualitative studies focused on generating themes of CO along with various issues/problems faced by the participants. The cross-sectional studies mainly explored parental reactions, stigma, parental support, psychological distress, and perceived stress in the participants. Major themes emerging from the qualitative studies were the experience of prejudice from various strata of society, such as parental, societal, racial, cultural, and religious factors that lead to problems of hiding, internalized homophobia, and anticipatory rejections that put this population under extreme conditions. Limited research is available from Eastern societies. More recently, the new generation of adolescents has taken the help of social media platforms for self-disclosure. Conclusions: CO is an elaborate multi-step process that considers the presence of parental/family and societal support, cultural/traditional values, and several psychosocial factors that determine the degree of positive outcomes. Emerging data indicated an improved trend of adolescents deciding to come out to families or in online platforms, both of which are associated with challenges, more in eastern collectivistic societies and developing countries.

AbstractThe dawn of the twenty-first century confronts Western democracies with a racialized class problem. The globalization of capitalism—mass geographic movement of peoples, capital, and markets on scales unprecedented since the Atlantic slave trade—has brought poor migrants into affluent nations. Migrants' descendants are replicating conditions associated with poor Blacks. Affluent Western democracies are hurtling toward biplural stratification defined by a multiracial underclass. Racialized class stratification stems from economic policies. Capitalist democracies' edifice of social policies—sanctioning expectations of rising prosperity, welfare “safety nets” for minimal consumption, low-wage migration policies—erroneously assumed that jobs and wages would continuously grow to absorb expanding populations. Overuse of low-wage migration policies commodified work relations in low-skilled jobs. Acculturated to demand affluent living standards and egalitarian human relations, educationally deprived descendants of migrants find commodified work regimens repellent. Despite large populations of jobless natives, some maintain that affluent democracies need more migrants to do the jobs that natives won't do. But jobless youth are alienated and prone to agency, as riots in England, the United States, and, more recently, France and other areas of Europe suggest. To avert the solidification of biplural societies, social policy must slow rates of migration from low living-standard economies, expand minimum wages and income transfers to working-citizen households, and provide documented immigrants clear avenues to citizenship. This agenda is more likely to succeed in the United States, where minority voting strength is gathering considerable momentum.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to substantiate prospects for the development of the tourism industry in the world and in Ukraine on the basis of theoretical and analytical studies. Methodology of research. General scientific and special methods were used in the research process, in particular: induction and deduction – at the stage of collecting, systematizing and processing the necessary information; analysis and comparison – in the process of reflecting the development of the tourism industry in the world and in Ukraine; abstract and logical – for the formation of theoretical conclusions; monographic and comparative – to systematize scientific approaches of scientists to theoretical aspects of tourism business development; graphic – for visualization of research results. Findings. The study examines the theoretical foundations of various forms of tourism development in the contemporary economic environment and explores the transformation aspects of the tourism industry as a whole. The research emphasizes the significance of the tourism sector for the economies of countries and their social development, highlighting how tourism facilitates self-improvement, fulfilment of recreational, cognitive, and spiritual needs, and the internalization of personality. Moreover, it highlights the sense of responsibility towards the environment and the desire to enhance ecology, confirming the close connection between tourism and sustainable development, encompassing economic, social, and ecological aspects. Originality. The article explores the distinctive features of tourism development worldwide and in Ukraine, substantiating the contribution of tourism to the global GDP. The research evaluates the current state of tourism development in Ukraine, taking into account external challenges and ecological crimes. The study identifies the demand for different types of tourism in the current context, substantiating their effectiveness and conditions for recovery and implementation, including recreational, health-oriented, cultural, educational, social, fashion, youth, and ecological tourism. The study concludes that further development of the tourism industry stimulates economic growth, creates additional job opportunities, attracts investments, and supports local communities. Practical value. The proposed recommendations resulting from this research can be employed for the effective development of necessary forms of tourism, considering analytical research and risks like the pandemic and aggression against our state by the Russian Federation. Key words: recreational tourism, health-oriented tourism, cultural tourism, educational tourism, social tourism, fashion tourism, youth tourism, ecological tourism, travels, needs, ecological crimes

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses MTV’s Geordie Shore against the backcloth of current social conditions for working-class youth. It suggests that the aesthetic, physical and discursive features of excess represent hyperbole, produced from within an affective situation of precariousness and routed through the labour relations of media visibility. Hyper-glamour, hyper-sex and hyper-emotion are responses to the ideologies of the future-projected, self-governing neoliberal subject and to the contemporary gendered contradictions of sexually proclivity and monogamous heteronormativity. By ‘flaunting’ the realities of self-work and making the labour of themselves more/most visible, the participants of Geordie Shore are claiming an animated type of ill/legitimate subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to explore a social-contextual view of talent development in sports by which the demographic and contextual factors of engagement, psychosocial development, and satisfaction, and the extent of their relationships, may be investigated concurrently. The sample (n = 257, nfemale = 122, and nmale = 135) consists of youth athletes (mean age = 17.87 and standard deviation = 1.10), and cross-sectional survey data from two randomly selected sports academies in Ethiopia. Analyses involve group comparisons to identify differences and multiple regressions to examine predictions. Group comparison results show that enrollment in a sports academy accounted for a significant difference in youth athletes’ measured engagement. Moreover, results of regression analyses indicate that higher psychosocial development and more satisfaction of youth athletes were associated with higher engagement and some demographic and contextual factors. Results also show that higher engagement of youth athletes was associated with some demographic and contextual factors. The group comparison results support the self-determination theory, providing evidence regarding the importance of social-contextual conditions in determining the engagement of youth athletes. The results of multiple regression analyses validate engagement theory and substantiate the results of previous studies on talent development. Specifically, it may be inferred that youth athletes’ engagement is not only one of the results of participation in sports but also one of the processes contributing to higher levels of reported psychosocial development and satisfaction. The implications of these results for theory and practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Pedagogical analysis of the issues addressed in the study adopts theoretical and methodological conceptualisations, referring to Paweł Boski's (1) theory of cultural identity based on values and practices in conditions of bicultural and multicultural socialisation, Tadeusz Lewowicki's (2) theory of identity behaviours, and (3) comparative analysis in international studies. The basis for outlining the sense of identity in local, regional, national, European and extra-European dimensions manifested by academic youth and their perceptions of mixed marriages was an international comparative study conducted from 2019 to 2021 in the Polish-Czech-Slovak-Ukrainian borderland. The analysis and interpretation of the collected empirical material indicate that – although there have been political transformations in the neighbouring countries, they cooperate in many spheres – both traditional ('constant') elements and new phenomena and processes, determined by the complexity and diversity of historical, cultural-social, cultural-personal and economic conditions, are preserved in the image of identity behaviour manifested by students today. These shape with particular intensity the cultural identity of young learners in the years of early adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
Although the IMF and the World Bank have advocated public sector reforms for market-oriented economic development, Egyptian authoritarian leaders have avoided such reforms. Egypt maintains a large public sector with a significant number of young Egyptians among its ranks. However, the public sector has shortcomings such as overstaffed government departments, deteriorating working conditions, and employee protests. This study uses the “social contract” concept to understand why Egypt’s political leaders have preserved this inefficient institution. The logic of the “social contract” works under two conditions: generous welfare as the main source of the regime’s legitimacy and a lack of accurate information concerning the extent to which people can tolerate painful reforms under authoritarian rule. Contrary to the conventional understanding, a lack of democratic institutions imposes “shackles” upon authoritarian leaders rather than giving them wide discretion regarding policymaking and the manipulation of institutions for their survival. The findings thus offer important insights into the dynamics of authoritarianism.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on city embankments as social and spatial developments, which are an essential attribute of the city and an integral element in the lifestyle of citizens. As a contact point between the city and the water, embankments act as public spaces that exercise a wide range of functions. They also become points of attraction for various social groups, including young people. In the study conducted in autumn of 2021, we focused on the embankments of a large industrial city (Yekaterinburg, Russia). The “centre-periphery” vector was used as the basis for the typology of embankments, and the value young people attach to embankments has been determined. Using the methods of observation and interviews (n = 16), it was found that the leading functions of the central embankments in the views of city youth are communicative, aesthetic, integrative, leisure, including flânerie, cognitive, transit, self-awareness, security, and identity assertion. Peripheral embankments structure the city space, develop neighbourhood identity and support the function of spending free time. At the same time, undeveloped areas of the periphery are being marginalised and become dangerous. The article argues for the need to develop peripheral embankments through well-maintained footpaths, access to water, leisure and recreational infrastructure, creating comfortable living conditions for the “appropriation” of embankments and their social production through the actions and interactions of different groups of citizens, including young people.

The article considers the main problems of the situation and development of youth in Ukraine during the period of social turbulence 2019–2021. Youth is the main resource of society and the main component of human capital, which is being fought for in developed countries. In recent years, Ukraine has faced the loss of this resource due to depopulation and migration. The problems of young people, which emerged in the pre-war years, are now becoming unprecedentedly acute. The first step on the way to a solution is an in-depth analysis of the key problems and features of young people's lives. The authors analyze the spheres of education, employment and work, housing conditions, consumption and leisure, health practices, and social interactions of Ukrainian youth. Special attention is drawn to the differences in ways of life constructing by young men and women, considering that the main areas of life are determined by gender differences in life opportunities. In addition to gender differences, the age subgroup is also a determinant. The most noticeable difference in value orientations and outlook is that the younger they are, the more open they are to change and seek self-affirmation. The youngest subgroup was also the most optimistic, regardless of economic level, and the least religious. In general, in recent decades there has been a diversification of lifestyles thanks to the emergence of new economic, informational, cultural, and political perspectives. The empirical basis of research is a series of data of domestic and foreign studies: the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine on the sex-age distribution of the population of Ukraine, the annual monitoring study of Ukrainian society, the Info Sapiens survey for the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), the ninth periodic report of Ukraine on the implementation of the Convention of the United Nations Organization, the study of Ukrainian women entrepreneurs, the study of the sociological group "Rating", the report "World Values Survey–2020.

This article studies the problem of social activity of the students of the Sverdlovsk Region in the context of intensified digitalization of the social space caused by the forced self-isolation. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the self-regulation of students’ social activity in the conditions of digitalization of the social space. Following the traditions of the Ural scientific sociological school and the concepts of multidimensionality and self-organization of youth, as well as using community, activity, and other sociological approaches, the authors use a terminological series of concepts of the student educational community and its social activity. They distinguish the terms “classical (traditional) community”, acting in a real socio-cultural space, “virtual community”, the social action of which is transferred to cyberspace, and “digital community”, occupying an intermediate position and acting in a multidimensional real-virtual sociocultural space. The social activity of students is considered as one of the types (along with educational and professional) social activity and a form of actual general cultural socialization. Employing the materials of empirical research in 2020 and with the involvement of data from the secondary analysis of regional monitoring, the authors study the factors, intensity, and dynamics of social activity of students. The results reveal the ideas of students about people serving as role models and multidirectional tendencies in value attitudes — to help society and specific people and to material success and comfort. New data were obtained on the social problems of concern to students, the preferred type of public activity, attitude towards the citizenship of the Russian Federation, the dynamics of participation in electoral processes, collective actions, participation in the work of public organizations and charitable events. The attitude of students to youth public organizations and conditions for active participation of young people in social and political activities is revealed. The authors conclude on the reorientation of a significant part of the student body towards the priority of the personal over the public and about the further stratification and atomization of the student community.

At the time of postmodern deconstruction in thinking about aesthetic education, the concept of prof. Irena Wojnar on the integration of art with daily life is still valid. In the 1980s and 1990s, the legitimacy of prof. Wojnar’s theory were our studies of amateur artistic teams from youth vocational schools in Gorzów Wielkopolski, Lublin, Kraków, Andrychów, Koronowo, Kołobrzeg. Despite various profiles of the schools such as: mining, metallurgy, medicine, gastronomy, railway, amateur creativity was developed within the three following stages: (1) social meetings functioning instrumentally; (2) workshops enhancing the autonomy of art; (3) formation of a lifestyle that shapes the hierarchy of values. The integration of art with daily life is not limited to the past: Młodzi i teatr (‘Youth and the Theatre’) report prepared by the Malta Festival Foundation in Poznań (2013) shows its usefulness in the educational practice. Together with defining the typology of audience and the conditions for dissemination of the theatre, it emphasises the need for a broader cultural participation in the debate on art creation within the new social environment.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Sociological studies of the social portrait of students are an urgent problem of science, which has recently acquired special significance in Russian conditions. This is due to those circumstances, which, on the one hand, follow from the special characteristics of students as a specific social group, for which the problems of successful socialization are especially relevant, and on the other, they are dictated by the significant dependence of students on those factors that are formed in the political, economic and the legal space of different regions. In conditions of social transformations and turbulence, almost always young students find themselves in a more difficult situation than older generations. In particular, a number of problems arise on the basis of the divergences and nuances of the social perception of reality, which are formed among students who, to varying degrees, are adapted to the local conditions of the university.Methodology and sources. The theoretical foundation of the study is the concept of youth as a cultural group, the methodology of sociological research of risk and social uncertainty, the works of foreign and national researchers of student youth, which reflect various aspects of students' social life, in particular, the results of a study of the effects of social factors in the information space, new phenomena of youth subcultures, etc., which involve the development of new strategies for a sociological study of the social portrait of young students.Results and discussion. Particular problems of students' socialization arise in those regions of the country where new legal and political realities are forming. Compared with other social groups, in such social spaces, it is more difficult for young people to integrate and join in a new reality, because the usual mechanisms of socialization, formed earlier, are not actual now, and how to achieve full potential in the new social space is not yet clear to everyone. In particular, such contradictions are clearly visible in the Crimean realities, in the university community of Sevastopol. The purpose of the sociological research conducted by the Centre for Sociological Research of Sevastopol State University was to study the characteristics of the social portrait of student youth in Sevastopol, including those representing various groups of students according the period of their residence on the peninsula. For this purpose, two groups of young people were distinguished in the analysis, differing by the period of their residence in Sevastopol: an “indigenous” one – those who live in Sevastopol from birth or moved here at an early age, and a “new” one – those who moved to Sevastopol after 2014. The results of the study made it possible to determine the strategic life goals of university students, which can be described as ambitious: starting a business, acquiring a car and housing, providing material wealth, pursuing career success and self-realization.Conclusion. Most of the “indigenous” youth and “new” residents of the southern capital of Russia have shown their attitude to Sevastopol as a city that they want to develop together. This fact was assessed as a phenomenon of social gratitude: the young generation, who found in Sevastopol the opportunity to live peacefully and fulfill itself, binds itself to the city, but wants to make it better. The study also confirms the relevance of highlighting among students social and demographic groups that differ in the perception of social reality, due to the time spent in this social environment. In particular, this is noted in a higher degree of readiness of “old-timers” for practical participation in changes in social reality – participation in public life, volunteering, etc.

Service-Learning, a popular approach to citizenship education in the US, provides youth with opportunities to define and address public needs while reflecting on the knowledge, skills, and relationships needed to do such work. This approach assumes education for democratic citizenship must help youth understand themselves as part of a larger community, increase their sense of agency and efficacy as civic actors, and increase their ability to analyze social and political issues. It also assumes that these outcomes are best learned through experience. Creating these conditions can be quite challenging in the context of schools, where students are typically separated from the community, highly controlled in their activities, and have limited time to grasp the complexities of a given topic. This piece responds to the growing role of new media in civic and political activity. Specifically, it examines how the integration of new media into service learning may facilitate or challenge the core pedagogical goals of this approach to civic education and the implications for the practice of supporting youth civic engagement in school settings. Based on a review of existing programs and research, the authors illustrate how new media can be used to support four primary goals of service learning – designing authentic learning environments, connecting to community, supporting youth voice, and encouraging engagement with issues of social justice.El aprendizaje-servicio es un método que se utiliza con frecuencia en la educación para la ciudadanía en los EEUU. Proporciona oportunidades a los jóvenes para definir y abordar las necesidades de la población, y al mismo tiempo, reflexionar sobre los conocimientos, habilidades y relaciones que requiere dicha tarea. De acuerdo con este enfoque, la educación para la ciudadanía democrática debe ayudar a los jóvenes a comprender que forman parte de una comunidad más amplia, fomentar su sentido de función y eficacia como agentes cívicos, y mejorar su capacidad para analizar cuestiones sociales y políticas, entendiéndose que estos resultados se consiguen de mejor forma si el aprendizaje es a través de la experiencia. Crear estas condiciones puede suponer un reto en el contexto escolar donde el alumnado suele estar apartado de la comunidad, muy controlado en sus actividades, y con un tiempo limitado para comprender las complejidades de ciertos temas. El presente artículo responde al papel creciente de los nuevos medios en la actividad cívica y política. Analiza específicamente cómo la integración de los nuevos medios en el servicio-aprendizaje puede facilitar o cuestionar los objetivos pedagógicos básicos de este enfoque de la educación cívica y las implicaciones para la práctica de fomentar la participación cívica de los jóvenes en los entornos escolares. Basándose en una revisión de los programas existentes y los resultados de estudios realizados, los autores muestran la forma en que nuevos medios pueden ser utilizados para apoyar los cuatro objetivos principales del aprendizaje-servicio: el diseño de entornos de aprendizaje auténtico, la creación de enlaces con la comunidad, apoyar la voz de los jóvenes y alentar la participación en cuestiones de justicia social.

This article presents the results of a survey of the psychological well-being of Russian youth based on the Russian version of the PERMA-Profiler. The survey was conducted at the beginning of 2021 and covered 11,811 respondents (males = 29.2%, females = 70.8%) aged 18–35 (49.2%, aged 18–22; 22.3%, aged 23–30; and 28.5%, aged 31–35) living in the central part of Russia. The survey’s results indicate that the country perform properly in terms of youth well-being. The scores of Russian respondents are significantly higher than the results reported by Butler and Kern for the UK, Greece, Korea, Italy, and the USA in their study of 2016 (this sample is referred to as a total sample). The Russian respondents scored higher compared to the total sample in the scales of Positive emotions and Relationships. The research data show different indicators of well-being in groups differing by gender, age, education, social, marital and parental status, living conditions, and income level. We also found some peculiar age- and gender-related differences regarding well-being in the Russian sample, which also distinguishes it from the total sample. The research results can be used in programs intended to improve the psychological well-being of Russian youth.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines violent youth cultures in socially disadvantaged residential areas in Denmark. The focus on these cultures stems from their identification by youth themselves when describing the local circumstances that contribute to their repeated involvement in violence. The tone among these young people is harsh and they seem to believe that an aggressive behaviour pattern is necessary for their own survival. Violent behaviour is expected and these expectations are difficult to counteract given the conventionality of violence within the culture. In that sense, the culture works to further reinforce the marginalization of these already marginalised youth. The article focuses on neighbourhood conditions and the social codes found among young people on the street. The stories they tell about the violence they have committed and the reality they experience depicts a particularly violent youth culture context.

Full textAbstract:
Many comparative studies of home-leaving examine behavior associated with this transition and the relative importance of both structural and cultural factors in helping or hindering it. Yet, we know surprisingly little about how youth understand these factors on a broad scale to be influencing home-leaving for their generation. This article compares young people’s beliefs across cultures about why late home-leaving occurs using Eurobarometer survey data from 28 countries. I incorporate comparative home-leaving literature with theories about attitudinal worlds of welfare and explanations for social problems to argue that modes of explanation for late home-leaving hinge on whether youth see external, structural causes preventing earlier leaving (constraint-oriented explanations) or internal, more culturally motivated causes that lead individuals to stay at home longer (choice-oriented explanations). Demographic and institutional conditions that capture aspects of nations’ home-leaving contexts, such as women’s mean age at childbirth and the robustness of labor and housing markets, significantly correlate with the prevalence of these explanations. Findings suggest that youth tend to perceive their generation’s housing exits as structurally limited by scarce housing and weak purchasing power. However, in richer countries with more effective employment markets and better access to rental housing stock, choice-oriented explanations are more popular.

Introduction. The relevance of the study is associated with the need for scientific understanding of youth volunteering, deepening ideas about its educational potential, which is realised in the education system. In the context of international and national studies, it is important to evaluate the volunteer participation of the younger generation, its social effects on society. The social effectiveness of volunteering is a necessary condition, the result of educational activities organised in the educational environment. The study meets the practical request to determine the conditions for changing the qualitative characteristics of students volunteering with an active agenda of state assistance to the pro-social activity of the youth in the Russian Federation. Understanding the motivation, intentions and real opportunities for volunteer participation of high school students and students is important for improving the effectiveness of solving the task of increasing the social activity of young people, defined in the framework of the state youth policy.Aim. The article aimed to concretise the social significance of the volunteer participation of high school students and students and to determine the conditions for overcoming the motivated refusal of youth volunteering in the educational environment in order to increase the effectiveness of its organisation.Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the article is a set of theoretical ideas about the formation of social solidarity and stimulation of pro-social behaviour of young people. The theory of social participation has received a certain development in the article. The article is based on the materials of the authors’ research projects implemented in 2017–2020 in the Sverdlovsk region. Having used the questionnaire method, the authors analysed the data of a mass survey of young people in the Sverdlovsk region from 14 to 24 years old from 81 settlements of the region. A representative sample consisted of 1105 people, the error is no more than 3,5%. The sample was based on four quotas: gender, age, the main type of employment (school, college, and university) and type of city by population.Results and scientific novelty. The study showed that while maintaining a large number of students with experience in volunteering, the number of those, who consciously refuse or doubt that they will be engaged in volunteering in their future, increases. In recent years, the number of those, who have gained volunteering experience through initiatives in educational institutions, has increased significantly. The involvement of young Uralians in social projects has decreased. The study proves that the voluntary activity of young people is a necessary condition for the accumulation of social capital in territorial communities. The involvement of schoolchildren and students in youth organisations, in socio-cultural urban life is an important and necessary condition for effective volunteer participation of young people. It was revealed that volunteer experience is directly related to student interest in public life. It is proved that high school students and students with volunteer experience and intentions to continue it are more likely to be involved in the social and political life of their city or village than those who do not have such experience.Practical significance. In schools, colleges and universities, there is an important task of organising not only the educational process, but also educational activities. When requesting mass youth participation and the typicality of socially significant events, it is important to understand the conditions when the qualitative characteristics of volunteering by young citizens as members of the local community are being developed.

In modern psychology, the study of the socialization of young people is of particular relevance in connection with changing living conditions: the transitivity of society; increased social mobility and sociocultural dynamics in general; expansion into everyday life of digital reality. In psychological studies of the transformations of today’s world, it makes sense to use the terms “image of the world” and “world picture” to focus on various sociocultural aspects of the reality under study. The complexity and diversity of youth worldviews in modern conditions are emphasized, which results in the need to differentiate the cultural and psychological aspects of the development of youth communities within society. The author considers interrelation between the formation of the image of the world and the formation of subjectivity; study of individual differences in the construction and transformation of the picture of the world; dynamics of the world picture in a transitive and digital society. The phenomenon of the digital self and the growing environmental concern of young people in connection with the characteristics of modern times are discussed. Among the methodological issues of studying the image of the world of young people in a digital transitive society, it is necessary to highlight a number of aspects: 1) changing the perspective of psychological research – the movement from a closed psychological laboratory to an open everyday world; 2) switching optics – from the normativity of a stable picture of the world to the normalization of the constancy of changes; 3) rethinking the “image of the world” construct in a transitive society – from focusing on the phenomena of perception and social representations to studying the diversity of worldviews and lifestyles; 4) for the integration of thematic (task-oriented) studies of psychology and social sciences – reliance on a transdisciplinary approach; 5) the invention of relevant constructs and concepts in order to systematize a new phenomenology that characterizes the changed state of modern times and the interaction of young people with the digital environment

Recognizing the right of self-determination of Indigenous Peoples is essential to improving the state of community-based primary healthcare of First Nations in Canada. Understanding communities’ priorities and local health agendas is critical for primary healthcare transformation. We used a community-based participatory research approach to engage our partners: Nanaandawewiwgamig, the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba, and eight First Nation communities. Community-based research assistants conducted 183 in-depth interviews in their respective First Nations. Key themes that emerged from these interviews include primary prevention focused on health and social determinants; an integrated healthcare system providing access to both Western and First Nations traditional health knowledge; infrastructure improvement; youth engagement; healthcare leadership; investing in community-based human resources; and promoting culturally respectful, responsive, geographically sensitive, and outcomes-oriented care. Policy approaches could implement some local priorities with direct impact on healthcare, while other social determinants will create indirect, albeit critical, conditions for health and healthcare changes over time.

In modern Sri Lankan society, caste has become less significant as a marker of social identity and exclusion than was the case in the past. While acknowledging this trend across South Asian societies, the literature does not adequately explain why this is happening. Increasing urbanization, the growing number of inter-caste marriages, the expanding middle class, and the bulging youth population have all been suggested as contributory factors. In rural Sri Lanka, family names are used as identifiers of family and kinship groups within each caste. The people belonging to the “low castes” identified with derogatory village and family names are socially marginalized and stigmatized. Social segregation, marked with family names and traditional caste occupations, makes it difficult for the low-caste people to move up in the class ladder, and socialize in the public sphere. Political and economic development programs helped to improve the living conditions and facilities in low-caste villages, but the lowness of such castes continued to linger in the social fabric. Socially oppressed low-caste youth in rural villages moved to cities and the urban outskirts, found non-caste employment, and changed their names to acaste names. By analyzing newspaper notifications and selected ethnographic material, this article shows how name changes among the Sinhalese have facilitated individualization and socialization by people who change their names to acaste names and seek freedom to choose their own employment, residence, marriage partners, and involvement in activities of wider society—a form of assimilation, in the context of growing urbanization and modernization.

Recently, especially given the consequences of COVID-19, external migration processes have become more intense. In Kazakhstan and other neighboring post-Soviet countries, a certain social imbalance is associated with the protracted transition period from the Soviet past to the social order and economy of the future. A widening gap exists between the countries of this region associated with geopolitics; for example, states have to choose the Western or Eastern geopolitical vector of development. Russia has a dramatic effect on the development, economy, and migration of neighboring states with a weaker economy. In this regard, the research focuses on the study of key drivers, factors, and reasons affecting this imbalance in the context of the social strata of Kazakhstan. Based on economic and statistical analysis methods, the study analyzes the current migration situation in Kazakhstan and the CIS region, assesses the level of adaptation of citizens of Kazakhstan to the changing environment and globalization that affects the young population; the mechanism of the influence of regional vectors of geopolitics on Kazakhstan is also determined. Apart from this, the current work examines the propensity of young people to migrate abroad (expressed using an integrated indicator) and provides a regression analysis of factors affecting its level. This allowed assessing the degree of influence of the youth unemployment rate and the general welfare of the country on the inclination to go overseas to find a better job. The paper concludes by arguing that the level of unemployment among the young population has a significant impact on its tendency to migrate. In particular, in Kazakhstan, migration abroad is primarily connected with the possibility to get better career prospects and living conditions provided by the host countries.The research results could be used to manage socio-political and socio-economic issues related to the migration of young people in Kazakhstan and neighboring countries and conduct further research related to analyzing macroeconomic indicators and other factors affecting migration processes.

“Sisters Rising” is an Indigenous-led research project that centers the gender knowledge of Indigenous youth and communities. In this article, members of “Sisters Rising” build on the notion of kinscapes to propose renegade stewardship as a generative concept through which to consider what kinds of responses are required at the community-scholarly-activist level to disrupt conditions of gender-based and sexual violence and racialized poverty that strip Indigenous bodies of sovereignty, land, and cultural connections while targeting us for genocide. Operating from a multimethod research standpoint that is land- and arts-based, community-rooted, and action-oriented, that engages youth of all genders, and that links body sovereignty to decolonization, this work seeks to build political, theoretical, ceremonial, and interpersonal channels that are crucial to restoring dignity with advocacy for and by Indigenous communities.

In today's organizations, understanding how young people perceive labor challenges and policy issues is essential for taking a strategic approach to systematically address future labor concerns and contribute to creating better organizational cultures and social communities. This study aims to explore the perspectives of young undergraduate students on various labor issues experienced directly and indirectly within organizations. By utilizing Q methodology, which helps understand human behaviors, experiences, cultural phenomena, and categorize diverse perspectives systematically, this study classifies and identifies the characteristics of different groups of young undergraduate students in terms of their views on labor challenges and policy issues within organizations. The analysis reveals four distinct groups: those highly interested in 'labor standards and appropriate working conditions,' those prioritizing 'healthy organizational culture and respectful workers' rights,' those concerned with 'labor laws and social safety nets,' and those focused on 'labor compensation and vacation policies.' Drawing insights from these findings, this study presents organizational, educational, and policy implications for addressing labor problems and improving the perspectives of the youth.

Full textAbstract:
The article continues the empirical analysis of the influence of mediatization on the formation of value orientations of modern Russian youth. In the first part of the article, the search for theoretical grounds for studying the virtual projection of politics was problematized, the portrait of "digital aborigines" or "generation of 3C millennials" was conceptualized in political-axiological optics. The study reveals the basic value characteristics and potentially conflicting contradictions as a result of the influence of the rapid spread of new media on the audience of modern Russian youth. In the course of the analysis, a fundamentally new knowledge was obtained, based on a holistic vision of the cultural and historical reality of the formation of a "digital society" in Russia, about the axiological features of the modern Russian social order, including a complexly structured set of moral values of youth. The study included two trajectories of empirical analysis: conducting focus groups to identify and scientifically interpret trends in the formation of content preferences of the younger generation in the discourse of the use of new media, as well as monitoring social networks in order to mark popular communication platforms among young people, evaluating the most effective methods of information impact, broadcasting axiological discourses and articulation generated in them risks. To achieve the set scientific objectives, the authors of the study conceptualized the theoretical constructions of the specifics of new media in modern conditions, presented popular axiological trends identified as a result of qualitative content analysis of blogs in social networks. The results obtained are correlated with other fundamental studies of Russian scientists studying the problems of youth values in various academic planes, in order to search for correlations and assess the complementarity of conclusions for the subsequent increment of political science knowledge. As a result of the analysis, not only trends in the transformation of values of modern Russian youth are articulated, but also strategic risks determined by the mediatization of communications of the studied age cohort. In this regard, the article develops a model for measuring and preventing the risks of political and axiological transformations among Russian youth based on the development of complementary methods of their assessment for the construction and implementation of effective state strategies in terms of their change and improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Modern childhood depends on various processes that are formed under the influence of emerging trends around the world: political, social, economic, cultural, demographic, information. Today, global challenges and trends affect many factors that affect childhood. The economic, social, and political development of the country is largely determined by the «quality» (health, education, social adaptation, upbringing) of the younger generation. A lot depends on the system of social values and guidelines, morality and spirituality, and the cultural level. The very concept of «childhood» is analyzed in many foreign and domestic works, studied in various studies, state support programs. However, this problem requires a comprehensive solution. Under the influence of modern conditions: information saturation and accessibility, googling of consciousness, changes in family relations, social and economic problems, health, and a pandemic – it becomes impossible to replicate, as before, the parental experience «in its pure form». This article presents the results of research conducted according to the author's methods: the study of issues of marriage and family relations, health and a healthy lifestyle, the attitude of children and youth to information and communication technologies. All these studies studied the attitude of children and young people to modern problems of society. The methods and tools used have been tested, and the results of the author's research are presented not only at various conferences but also in the Government of the Moscow Region at a meeting of the Coordinating Council for Improving the Demographic Situation in the Ministry of Defense under the Ministry of Social Development. These results help to understand exactly what socio-economic problems exist now and may arise in the future in this field. This is extremely important, since it is in childhood that the foundations of the future personality are laid, the upbringing and formation of a person – the future individual of society-takes place. Complex research of childhood, evaluation of its quality and potential helps to make competent and effective state decisions

В статье представлены материалы анализа социологических, философских, культурологических, психологических исследований проблемы трансформации ценностных ориентаций у российской молодежи, которая сегодня является индикатором социальных и экономических преобразований в нашей стране за последние 10–20 лет. Сделан вывод о влиянии многочисленных факторов на формирование ценностных ориентаций и их трансформации у российской молодежи в ситуации неопределенности социальных явлений в мировоззрении, их воздействия на становление личности. В статье акцент сделан на влиянии социокультурного фактора, так как отношения между людьми в обществе регулируются и изменяются прежде всего в соответствии с культурными ценностными установками, которые характерны для данного этноса. Также осуществлен анализ феномена культурной глобализации; на основании анализа научных точек зрения обращено внимание на то, что она, с одной стороны, способствовала усилению взаимосвязей между народами и их культурами, а с другой – вытеснению высокой культуры и формированию господства массовой культуры, ведет к разрушению культурного многообразия и традиционных ценностных ориентиров. Дана неоднозначная оценка процессов глобализации для сложившейся системы ценностей в обществе; глобализация и связанная с ней виртуализация общественной жизни могут представлять большую опасность для общества. В связи с этим осуществлен анализ исследований, раскрывающих сущность рационализации отношений в современном мире; обозначена проблема вытеснения духовной и нравственной составляющей в рационально выстраиваемых отношениях; высказана идея акцентирования внимания в воспитании подрастающего поколения на формировании ответственности за свои поступки; обозначена проблема поиска способов оптимального сохранения традиций и создания условий для внедрения инноваций в социокультурную среду. The article presents the analysis of sociological, philosophical, cultural and psychological studies of the problem of transforming value orientations among Russian youth, which today is an indicator of social and economic developments in our country over the past 10–20 years. The conclusion was made about the influence of numerous factors on the formation of value orientations and their transformation among Russian youth in the situation of uncertainty of social phenomena in the worldview, their influence on the formation of personality. The article focused on the influence of the socio-cultural factor, since relations between people in society were regulated and changed under the influence of, first of all, cultural values that were characteristic of a given ethnic group. The phenomenon of cultural globalization had also been analysed; based on the analysis of scientific points of view, it is noted that on the one hand it contributed to the strengthening of relations between peoples and their cultures, and on the other hand, the crowding out of high culture and the formation of the dominance of mass culture, leads to the destruction of cultural diversity and traditional value guidelines. An ambiguous assessment of globalization processes for the current system of values in society is given; globalization and the associated virtualization of public life could pose a great danger to society. In that connection, an analysis had been made of studies revealing the rationalization of relations in the modern world; the problem of crowding out the spiritual and moral component in a rationally built relationship; The idea of focusing attention in the younger generation on the formation of responsibility for their actions was expressed; problem of finding ways of optimal preservation of traditions and creation of conditions for introduction of innovations in sociocultural environment is outlined.

Studies of accessibility and impairment face recent glocal cultural change by reconsidering human notion of normality towards new approaches to mobility, communication, and socialisation that had become social priorities. Values of public care and subcultural solidarity now integrate more people suffering through pandemic conditions, as previously mostly impaired, and other socially vulnerable individuals had been addressed by various measures and specific attitudes of resocialisation and cultural adaptation. SARS-2 COVID-19 pandemics in 2020-2021 affected at first those members of society that had already needed special care, including youth, elderly, poor, disabled, migrants, etc. But the effects of pandemic health risks, deficits of social organisation, obstacles to civil protection, public and global reflections on the necessity of lockdowns, intensity of digital communication and infodemics on people unprepared, inexperienced, unaware in such conditions, became also statistically considerable. Therefore both social groups: of previously discriminated or needing special care, and of those who experience or reach such conditions of low equity, require accordingly adequate concern. Authorities, experts, and practitioners, responsible in managing disability and accessibility, are to focus on both general situation and its details, so that adaptation models applicable in these fields can be effective in times of pandemics, and specific measures could become more popular for all people. This paper, based on direct and participant observations, and on previous stages of our research on variety of accessibilities of tourist sites, educational media, and communication technologies, analyses particular cases of social dysfunction and problematic integration potential of spaces and infrastructure and models of organisation of new approaches that would improve resocialisation of people and activities damaged and isolated yet before pandemic. Although pandemic research is rapidly increasing in order to face various scholarly gaps, a more objective and sustainable scope of interest to accessibility is still not locally enough popular, as well as emergent integration studies and initiatives. There is no sufficient fundamentally and practically oriented support to the field, that would result in particular evaluation or regulation methodology, that could be applied and improve current situation. Nevertheless, actualisation of comparative field studies by pandemic situation is highly likely to result in paradigm shifts.

Full textAbstract:
The implementation of austerity and neoliberal policies has disrupted everyday life for a significant number of Europeans, especially among young people. Rising tuition fees, labor market reforms, levels of unemployment, precarious working conditions, and discontent toward the political status quo have contributed to increase moral panics and outrage, which have often triggered mass protests. This article analyses whether and to what extent young Europeans express their demands via protest claims across nine European countries ( N = 4,525). We argue that examining political (institutional and discursive) opportunities and claims’ attributes (such as actors, issues, targets) is important to understand whether a youth-related claim takes a protest form or not.
