Melnichuk M. V.

State youth policy is a system of priorities and measures designed to create conditions and opportunities for successful socialization and self-realization of youth, development of its potential in the interests of the country. The formation and modernization of the state’s youth policy is not an autonomous process, but a process that synthesizes a number of factors that can lead to the solution of strategic state tasks for the transition to a knowledge economy, and, as a result, to sustainable economic growth. The author has studied the international experience of the formation and implementation of youth policy in the field of education and innovation, carried out by the BRICS countries in recent decades, which seems informative and indicative, since in the Russian Federation there is a single information space summarizing data on youth policy activities, including in the field of science and technology, today is not formed.
