The article considers aspects of socio-philosophical analysis of the views and values of young people. Youth, as a social group, is studied as a barometer that indicates the level of societal development. The relevance of the article lies in the study of youth as a subject of social transformations and an object of state policy.
Youth are subjects of creative activity, possessing unique values in the context of the new generation. The article uses comparative analysis to examine changes in young people's social behaviour in relation to the results of social research.The role of youth in the formation of work culture, types of contemporary youth trends is considered. It has been established that youth trends in contemporary Kazakhstani society and perceptions among young people in Eastern European countries have a dual character. The issue of state policy on youth affairs, public opinion regarding the group of NEET youth who do not wish to participate in socio-political processes has been studied. Young people associate social subjectivity with political activity, while creative actions prevail in their social behavior. At the same time, young people are positioned as a social group and as social subjects engaged in spiritual search. Therefore, the public mood among young people is characterised by positivity and most of them are characterised by an inability to construct knowledge, values, and transcendental forms.
