The foundation of the youth policy of our independent state was laid by the Great Leader, necessary measures were taken to increase the role of youth in society, and Youth Day was established.
President Ilham Aliyev has further improved the state policy in the field of work with youth and successfully continues to do so adapting it to the existing challenges. State programs are being implemented to increase the role of youth in the political, economic and cultural life of the country. Young people are highly trusted in various fields of public administration.
It was noted that the main purpose of the reforms, social and economic policy implemented in the country as a whole is to provide the Azerbaijani citizen with decent standard of living and strengthen their social protection. And the measures taken in favor of vulnerable category are a priority of this policy.
