TRENDS IN PROBLEM MANAGEMENT AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN BULGARIA

The social inclusion of young people as active participants in public processes represents a strategic priority for every modern society. Their ability to act as policy generators at supranational, national, and local levels is directly linked to their involvement in addressing issues that affect them (1).The aim of this study is to identify key problems faced by young people in Bulgaria and to highlight trends in addressing them. To achieve this, the following research methods were employed: analysis of specialized academic literature; survey-based inquiry; and mathematical- statistical methods (SPSS 19 for Windows). The findings of the study reveal issues related to daily activity planning, financial difficulties, challenges in decision-making, lack of motivation, problems in education, and insufficient support. The research also outlines potential internal tools for addressing the identified problems.The conclusions drawn confirm the thesis that young people require targeted support. This thesis highlights the need for strategic partnerships between institutions to foster the social inclusion of young people within contemporary socio-economic processes.
