Abstract

The article is devoted to analysis of attitudes and ideas of young people about their own well-being and opportunities for implementation of financial behavior in the context of the prevailing socio-economic conditions, as well as a private assessment of these conditions and their prospects. The empirical basis of this work was the results obtained within the framework of two research projects, namely 1) research work within the framework of the State assignment for 2021 "Financial and economic culture as a parameter of the economic system: research methods and evaluation criteria" and 2) the author's sociological study "Economic culture of modern Russian youth", 2022. Youth, as the most creative and active part of society, is the driving force in the development of all spheres of society's life, and its attitude to the surrounding reality, in particular, to the socio-economic structure of our country, to the Russian elite, and the authorities sets the vector of transformational impact on both the State and society as a whole. The data obtained as a result of the conducted research reflect the negative assessments and young people's views on the future of the Russian economy and social sphere. In particular, this is expressed in low assessments of the actions of Russian elites and low trust in the State and state sources of information, that indirectly indicates that the respondents choose other sources of information for making economic decisions, and this can lead to new problems and risks associated with the quality of these sources, transformation of attitudes, values and behavior, including that in the financial market. This fact, first of all, serves as a signal to the State, which, according to the authors, should act as a conductor of all social processes in the country: economic, social, political, legal, spiritual and ideological, military, informational, environmental and others.
