The development of society is closely related to the young generation, which is an important component in a democratic society. One of the main tasks of every country is the implementation of an effective youth policy, which plays an important role in the formation and functioning of the state and directly affects social, economic and demographic indicators. The article analyzes the process of formation and implementation youth policy in Ukraine in 1991–2023, defines the specifics of implementing youth policy in the conditions of decentralization reform processes in Ukraine, and identifies basic innovations in the field of youth policy in 2017–2023. Over the years 1991–2023, a legislative frame-work in the field of youth issues was formed in Ukraine, central, regional and local state organizations in the field of youth policy were created, and a network of institutions and organizations for youth was created and developed.
