The role of youth in solving problems of the country

Abstract

Before the Kyrgyz Republic faces the diffi cult task of modernization and development. One of the main resources of these tasks would be to involve young people in the solution of these problems. At the heart of democracy in the West, largely support the modernization and development — the priority of individualism and personal freedom. Even then — appearing parties, NGOs as a way of strengthening the capacity of individual wills. How do things stand with the priority of individualism and individual freedom among young people in Kyrgyzstan? In Kyrgyzstan, the average life expectancy is low — only 58 years old. The birth rate is quite high by world standards. This leads to the fact that in Kyrgyzstan the population is quite young. Potentially — it is a signifi cant resource for development: young mobile workforce. However, the role of young people in public life is quite low. With what it is connected? In our opinion, the positive and negative factors aff ecting the role of youth in the development of the Kyrgyz Republic are mainly in historical and geopolitical features of the country. So fi rst look at these characteristics, then how they aff ect the role of youth in the development of the country, and fi nally — what conclusions and recommendations from this follow.
