Сельская молодежь: методологические аспекты исследования

Abstract

The author analyses methodological aspects for study of youth as a whole and village youth in particular. It is emphasized that the latter was studied for a long period of time, but the number of characteristics inherent in this category of youth was not taken into account, its main groups and cohorts where socialization and profession acquisition occurred in different ways were not completely represented, finally, the study of village youth was not of systemic character. In the paper, definitions of youth and village youth are specified, description of the latter as an object of research is given, and methods of the study of self-determination processes among different categories of village youth are described.
