Abstract

The article examines the formation of social and socio-cultural conditions shaping the life strategies of modern young people. The major conditions are as follows: reality changing on a global scale, growth in uncertainty and risk escalation, shift in the balance between targeted regulation and self-regulation, expansion of reality and changes in its semantic space, and a deeper social differentiation. The article raises essential questions relevant to a thorough analysis of youth life strategies and their self-regulation in a changing reality.
