Aspects of State Stimulation of Youth Activity in the Field of Science, Technology and Innovation in the Russian Federation

Today, science in Russia is in a difficult position. There are some problems to be resolved: lack of young scientists, lack of demand for the results of the work of scientists by society and the economy, lack of infrastructure. The state is in dire need of finding new measures that would make Russian science one of the most important factors in the country’s innovative and technical development. Creating a competitive and innovative system in Russia is impossible without the influx and consolidation in the scientific and educational sphere of young highly qualified specialists. It is also important since there is a noticeable correlation between the level of a country’s scientific potential and the level of social development, prosperity, and well-being of citizens. Analysing modern programs and projects for the development of science and innovations, we can conclude that the youth policy in the field of science, the state does not give sufficient attention to it. Measures to stimulate it should be based on global trends and driving forces for changes in economic and technological processes, and in general, trends in the development of the modern world economy. It is necessary to take into account the principles of building a system of state youth policy in the field of science, reflected in this article, which includes management at every stage of scientific and educational activities at the federal, regional and municipal levels.
