YOUTH AS SOCIALLY-PSYCHOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF SOCIAL CHANGES

Abstract

Transformations occurring in the Russian society
demand the use of the potential of representatives
of various social groups: intellectual, social, economic and
psychological. Under such conditions one of the basic carriers
of the given potential is the youth as an innovative
resource of a society, as specifi c socially-psychological potential
of reforming the basic spheres of the countrys life.
But this human resource is characterized by heterogeneity
of its subculture, professional marginality and individualistic
values.
