Summary/Abstract: Young people as a historically specific, heterogeneous social group (age, developmental needs and possibilities) are a pillar of social development. For this reason, their position in the labor market and the economy is of a great importance for individuals and society as a whole. The position of young people in the labor market is conditioned by the development of the market, as well as by their education, skills and professional experience. However, all this does not depend on them, but also on how much society provides conditions and possibilities for young people for adequate access to education, training and labor market. The possibility of access to the labor market, the stability of employment and income are prerequisites for a dignified life, independent decision-making and economic independence from other individuals or social groups. The paper analyses unfavorable position of young people in the labor market (access difficulties, instability of employment and income) as one of the key factors which increases the risk of social marginalization of young people in modern society (insecurity of social position, exclusion from the main social relations and processes, unpromising future, etc.).
