Youth policy defines the goals and methods of ensuring youth participation in public affairs.
The "Concept of Georgian Youth Policy for 2020-2030" is a framework established by the Georgian Parliament to guide youth policy development and implementation. This policy aims to create a supportive environment that promotes the health, well-being, and active participation of young people in society. It focuses on three core areas:
1. Health and Socio-Economic Well-Being: the policy emphasizes the importance of creating conditions that support young people’s health and overall socio-economic stability. This includes initiatives to encourage personal growth, self-realization, and multifaceted development.
2. Participation in Public Life and Democratic Processes: a key goal is to enable young people to engage meaningfully in public life and democratic decision-making. This involves ensuring they have access to platforms and resources that allow them to participate fully in their communities and in the country’s governance.
3. Strengthening Youth Policy Management: the concept also prioritizes improving the management of youth policy at both central and municipal levels, making the system more effective and responsive to young people's needs.
The strategic directions of the concept are:
- Active participation of young people in public life and democratic processes
- Promotion of youth development and realization of their potential
- Health and well-being of young people
- Economic empowerment of young people
- Improvement of state youth policy management at the central and municipal levels
