Abstract
In this article, the author analyzes the relationship between youth policy and stability in various political regimes. Today, the world's population is growing, and the main cohort is occupied by young people. In this regard, they are both a positive resource and a negative. According to the research, the propensity of young people to terrorist and protest activity is due to the fact that the state is not able to meet the needs of young people. In particular, the youth policy is understood as a system of measures of the state aimed at the maintenance and development of youth. In this regard, the Commonwealth Youth Development Index 2013 and Global Youth Development Index 2016 was used to measure youth policy in 2013, 2016. Political stability refers to changes in the political system that are measured by indicators of political instability, such as terrorism and guerrilla warfare, assassinations, revolutions, riots, purges, major government crises, anti-government demonstrations, general strikes. The Cross National Time Series (CNTS) data is used to measure stability. The Polity IV indicators, in particular pure democracies, hybrid democracies, and autocracies, were used to divide states by types of political regimes. In total, the sample included 153 States. In this study, the role of the influence of youth policy on the stability of different political regimes was analyzed. The analysis showed that there is a non-linear relationship between youth policy and the level of stability in different political regimes.
