They faced severe problems: the deterioration of the quality of education, the manifestation of social inequality among young people, a complete loss of independence, numerous stresses and a decrease in the productive potential of an entire generation. The purpose of the research is to assess the socioeconomic living conditions of young people, including the status of young people in society and the level of migration processes among young people. Youth support programs in conditions of economic instability are one of the tools to combat youth unemployment in the country, improve the quality of education and vocational training of young people, and stimulate youth entrepreneurship. As research methods, the article uses sociological methods (questionnaires, interviews, observation), the method of factor analysis, comparison and synthesis, statistical and graphical methods of data processing. The originality of the research is that the author tried to reveal the main factors influencing the quality of life of young people; increasing the level of employment and stimulating entrepreneurial initiative of young people in terms of respecting their rights and interests; recommendations for improving the state of youth policy in the region.
