ABOUT SOME PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF ASSESSING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF YOUTH POLICY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF PSKOV REGION)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of approaches to assess the branch state policy and the state youth policy at the regional level, in particular. The relevance of this topic is caused by the great attention of state institutions to the attitudes and problems of young people, creating conditions for their self-realization, including the development of youth volunteer movement, support of youth entrepreneurship. The article contains an analysis of approaches to the concept of "public policy" and its interpretation in the sectoral context. The authors focus their attention on evaluating the implementation of state youth policy, its methodological support, as well as the practice of applying different approaches to the evaluation procedures of the effectiveness of the regional youth policy. The article analyzes the practice of implementing state programs in the sphere of youth policy, which reveals that the assessment of the effectiveness of state programs is mainly focused on the achievement of quantitative indicators. In order to find out how much the representatives of power structures understand the sentiments and opinions of young people, the authors have conducted a survey of both groups of respondents and compared the answers received. The survey has been conducted by means of a questionnaire through a Google form. A total of 50 people from among the leaders and employees of state structures in the sphere of youth policy, youth public associations and youth centers and 259 youth representatives have taken part in the survey. The findings of the survey suggest the need to revise both the priorities of the regional sectoral policy and the criteria for evaluating its effectiveness.
