Dynamics and trends in the implementation of regional youth policy in Kazakhstan (on the example of the Karaganda region)

Abstract

Abstract

Object: The purpose of the study is to determine the dynamics and directions of the implementation of youth policy in the regional aspect, considering the dynamics and trends prevailing in this territory.

Methods: The article uses general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, deduction and induction, scientific abstraction and concretization.

Results: The article examines the dynamics and trends of regional youth policy in the Karaganda region. Among the negative trends in the implementation of youth policy, we note that the highest share of unemployed youth who are not engaged in either education or vocational training (12.1%) is in the Karaganda region (in comparison with other regions of the country).

Conclusions: We noted the immaturity and insufficient elaboration of the directions of regional youth policy, the absence of measurement criteria and regular monitoring aimed at identifying “bottlenecks” in working with youth; it is difficult to understand what problems the youth of the region feel. At the republican and regional levels, it is advisable to revise the methodological approaches to assessing the implementation of youth policy, to approve assessment indicators and a standard questionnaire of youth satisfaction.
