“…Национальные профили разработки, реализации, мониторинга молодежной политики в зависимости от специфики переноса регуляторных практик в сфере НМП на низовые структуры власти, децентрализации процесса принятия политико-управленческих решений, межсекторальной координации эксплицируются в работах Х. Уильямсона, З. Лавчян, М. Фраса (Williamson et al, 2021). А. М. Шербан, Т. Барбер идентифицировали модели НМП на основе особенностей концептуализации механизма политического управления молодежной сферой в программных документах, нормативноправовых актах (Şerban et al, 2018).…”

“…Некоторые исследователи выделили национальные модели молодежной политики, дополнив типологию социальных политик в государствах всеобщего благосостояния (Г. Эспинг-Андерсен) режимами молодежных транзиций (Walther et al,2021). При этом режимы молодежных транзитных троп (образцов перехода молодых людей от школы к работе) отражают различные дискурсивные представления о молодом поколении в континууме «ресурс vs проблема»: личное развитие (Швеция), экономическая независимость (Великобритания), семейная зависимость (Италия), профессиональная социализация (Германия, Франция).…”

The article reveals the specifics of strategic planning, assessment and monitoring of national youth policies in European countries. The national models of youth policy are identified according to a number of criteria (explication of youth and its transition into adulthood, the system of social security). Youth policy measures implemented by countries in response to the COVID-19 crisis are characterized. The article describes the quality standards of national youth strategies proposed by international organizations (OECD) and the initiatives of different countries in formulating, implementing, and controlling programs and plans for the development of the youth sphere. National youth strategies are cross-sectoral, integrated, and focus on different policy areas. Intersectoral cooperation ensures integration and rational coordination of actions in the framework of youth policy. The sustainability and effectiveness of policy depend on the systematic collection of data disaggregated by age and the integration of youth studies into the development and decision-making process. The effectiveness of youth policy monitoring is ensured through the clear formulation of control indicators for progress in achieving the set goals in the youth sector. The involvement of various stakeholders, primarily young citizens, at all stages of the political cycle in making decisions on youth issues is a significant factor in an inclusive policy model

“…16 There is a high probability that people who join some organizations will later be active in civil or political discourse. 17 The youth who are active in the community develop three important strengths: Capacity, Motivation and Opportunity. 18 Youth participation in associations helps them acquire certain knowledge and skills that they will need to participate in traditional political institutions.…”

In the previous ten years in the EU, the youth have become one of the priority groups that is being strengthened for more intensive involvement in the life and development of society. Research has shown that the youth are quite uninterested in getting involved in political and social activities that contribute to the development of the community and society. The still current pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has further “pushed” the youth into the virtual world because they are now forced to conduct their daily activities (for example, schooling, additional education) in an online environment. The youth, otherwise avid fans of technological achievements, are now trapped in their homes with computers, smartphones and other technological aids, thus losing direct contact with their peers and adults, remaining deprived of some of the socializing effects of the teaching process and are at risk of complete alienation. EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 addresses youth organizations, as one of the key actors that strengthen the competencies of the youth and promote their social inclusion. Youth associations and associations for the youth, in addition to providing various services and programs for the youth, strengthen empathy among the youth, raise awareness of the youth on the needs of society and, through the development of additional competencies, empower them to actively participate in community life. This paper presents the results of the part of the research created within the Youth Activation Network project. The research was conducted using the focus group method, where the respondents were representatives of youth associations and associations for the youth from entire Croatia. Research questions were focused on trying to identify and differentiate youth associations and associations for the youth from other associations, ways to activate and involve the youth in the work of associations, and assess the current legal framework of associations. The results obtained from the implementation of focus groups were transcribed, processed in Dedoose computer program and presented in the paper according to main research issues. For results analysis, content analysis method was used, as well as comparison method and contrast method. The results of the research show that it is necessary to legally define work with the youth so that it can be used as one of the distinguishing criteria of youth associations and associations for the youth. Associations involve the youth as volunteers, users and service providers, and empower and motivate them to further engage in social activities. The biggest problems pointed out by the representatives of associations are related to the ways of financing the work of the associations. Although some respondents pointed out certain shortcomings, research results indicate that the existing legal framework for the work of the associations is satisfactory, while its amendments could further complicate the work of youth associations. The revocation of the complex consequences of the pandemic requires the active involvement of all factors in society, where active and engaged, socially responsible and empathetic youth can be the bearers of change and improvement.

“…Finally, in addition to educational access, degree completion is another increasingly relevant issue of educational stratification, as study interruptions come about not only due to failing academically, but also because of financial stress [29]. Not only do students today often follow non-standard life routes when participating in society and combining studying, working and family life [36]-they are also increasingly forced to work [29]. Students in Latvia and Estonia have one of the highest intensities of working, and are most reliant on the share of self-earned income (60% in Estonia) (ibid.…”

Contrary to the overall tendency to increase student participation in the financing of higher education, Estonia abolished student tuition fees in 2013. We study the effects of this reform on the students’ access to and progress in higher education, concentrating mostly on the changes in probabilities of rural and remote students being admitted (extensive margin) and graduating within a nominal time (intensive margin). We distinguish between four different outcomes: admission in general, admission to vocational education, admission to high-rank curricula, and graduation within nominal time. We confirm the tendency that a high socioeconomic status increases the probability of being admitted to high-rank curricula and reduces the probability of choosing an applied curriculum, and the 2013 reform did not change that. While the reform weakly improved rural students’ tendency to graduate on time, it diminished the probability that they were admitted to high-rank curricula. So, paradoxically and contrary to the intention of the reform, higher state involvement in higher education financing has not improved the equity in university admission in Estonia in terms of either socioeconomic background or regional disparities. We claim that part of the explanation of that paradox lies in the conditionality of this reform and the combination of a scarce needs-based and a competitive merit-based student support system in Estonia. We see our broader contribution in emphasising the important role of support systems in the future analysis of the potential to improve students’ access.
