Social security of young people in the context of the vitality concept

Abstract

At the present stage of Russia's development, there is a contradiction between the policy pursued in the country to ensure the social security of the population, including young people, on the one hand, and the real state of social safety of young people, on the other. This contradiction is preserved and reproduced due to the lack of a holistic (complex) approach to the perception of young people as an object and subject of social reproduction, a clear and consistent state policy to identify and ensure its social security. On the methodological basis of the sociological concept of the vital forces of a person, it is possible to determine the nature and degree of connectedness of the development of the vital forces of young people, and the content of the living space of young people, as well as those measures that allow young people to form the life potential, which forms the basis of the social safety of young people as a special sociodemographic group. In accordance with this, in the context of neo-vitalism, ensuring social safety of young people involves the following measures: an examination of the level of development of vital forces, an examination of the state of living space, the justification of models for the rehabilitation of vital forces of young people, the development of mechanisms for correcting their vital space. In assessing the vitality of space, an independent sociological research is of particular importance. In 2017, in order to assess the subjective opinions of pupils and students of Chita educational institutions of secondary vocational and higher education about personal security as a complex part of the vital space, a study was conducted on the activities of law enforcement bodies in hostels by the Public Council under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Trans-Baikal Krai and the Sociological Department of the Transbaikal State University.
