From a set of these indicators, a generalized nature of changes in reality under conditions of a systemic crisis is formed, the resolution of which is also associated with an increase in requirements for sociocultural, social status and behavioral characteristics. Sociological analysis shows that modern youth, relying mainly on modernist values, is characterized by a high level of demand for independence, love of freedom and independence. At the same time, it is a necessary program within the framework of the state youth policy, which contains practical recommendations for optimizing the process of preparing for premarital relations, especially taking into account the need to solve demographic problems in Russia and strengthen its statehood.
