Problems of «youth age» limits definition in the context of digital socialization

The article is devoted to the analysis of the social conditioning of the global trend to expand the «boundaries of youth» in the context of the information anomie of modern society. The author notes that the reason for the change in approaches to the concept of «youth» lies in the realization of the need for legal and social protection for a particularly vulnerable group of people facing the problem of digital socialization or resocialization and encountering additional digital risks along the way. The author identifies the main directions of digital socialization, based on the analysis of statistical data, highlights the main problems in the process of digital socialization and determines the conditions for the success of this process. The author concludes about the regularity and social conditioning of the process of expanding the «youth borders» in the modern information society, noting that unsuccessful digital socialization can lead to extremely negative consequences for the individual and society.
