Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify factors of non-involvement in youth social activities and to draw a portrait of youth social activity in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. The empirical basis of the study was the survey data conducted by the author in the fall of 2020. Based on the factor and cluster analysis of the data obtained, in particular, priorities of young people in social activities, social status, and reasons for non-participation in activities and projects of their locality, five types of young people have been identified: globalists, patriots of Yamal, burghers, pessimistic infants, and realists. It turned out that main factors of non-participation in areas of social activity for young people with a high degree of participation were lack of opportunity to express themselves (57.8 %), impossibility to participate (54.3 %), and employment of conscious youth (51.7 %). For young people with a low degree of participation lack of motivation (54.7 %) is a main factor, the other factors are expressed in approximately equal degree, and only the lack of opportunity to prove themselves (45.3 %) is the least of the five factors of the degree. The measures aimed at increasing social activity of young people in Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District have been proposed.
