Abstract The problems and prospects for the development of youth work are discussed in this article. The authors use the existing international baggage of scientific and theoretical approaches, analysis of existing practical experiences in the presented article and offer to consider youth as an object of social work taking into account the changing world. Keyword. Youth, youth work, social problems of youth, socialization of youth.
In the twentieth century, many illusory myths about young people were created, on the one hand idealizing, and on the other – negatively assessing the life and behavior of the younger generations in general. But to predict present and future processes requires a strictly scientific approach to youth problems, knowledge of the real picture, a deep study of interests and life plans, value orientations and real behavior of young people, taking into account all the specific historical and social conditions of their socialization. The future of the country is largely determined not only by what kind of education young people will receive today, but how successfully they integrate into the system of public relations. The socialization and maturation of today’s young people coincides in time with the process of modernization of all aspects of social life. In these conditions, the state youth policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is being formed. However, any concept can remain on paper if the mechanism for its implementation is not clearly thought out, financial, economic and organizational and personnel bases for ensuring the assigned tasks are not created. In this case we are talking about the professional training of specialists in the field of youth work. Kokshetau Abai Myrzakhmetov university in course of realization of the state scientific grant project of the Committee of science of the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Kazakhstan on: «Yunogogics: theory and practice of the youth work in the conditions of the public consciousness modernization» project in the framework of the specialized programme of «Scientific basis» of «Mangilik El» ( education of the XXI century»), brought a proposal of the MES of the RK to introduce an experimental specialty «Social care teacher– facilitator of youth work» on the basis of KU named after A. Myrzakhmetov. The introduction of the specialty will make it possible to train highly professional specialists for the civil service and the education system to work with the younger generation of Kazakhstan people. Youth work is a systemically organized activity of a subject, in relation to youth, which is carried out socially or professionally. Professional work with young people is carried out by special personnel, whose appointment and complex of professional tasks depend on state priorities and society’s attitude towards young people. Organizers of youth work act as a special staff [1, 167]. Work with youth in Kazakhstan as a social and pedagogical phenomenon is at the stage of passing through several stages of development, the change of which will be due to a change in its subjects, their status, orientation and main types of activity.
