This day is dedicated to the most fearless and ambitious part of the population, which is still optimistic about the future and is looking for its own path in life. Celebrations are held all over the country: concerts, festivals, fireworks.
Celebration date
The date of the celebration of youth day does not coincide with the world one, and not only in 2024, but also in other years. International falls on August 12th.Neighboring states also have a different date. For example, in Ukraine and Belarus, the celebration falls on the last Sunday of June. In Tajikistan, it is customary to celebrate this day in the spring - on May 23, and in Azerbaijan - on February 2.
But regardless of the date of the celebration, the meaning of the celebration in any corner of the globe remains the same. It is dedicated to the young population, on which the future of the planet and humanity directly depends. It is celebrated almost the same way everywhere. Sports competitions or folk events, various competitions and competitions in different categories are organized.
History of Youth Day
The history of origin begins in the Soviet Union. Between 1917 and 1945, it was referred to as International Youth Day. But then they stopped celebrating. The decision to organize was made in 1958, when an order was signed to appoint a "day of Soviet youth" .In 2024, it is celebrated on April 27, but at first it was set on the last Sunday of June. Then it seemed logical, because it is more convenient to hold any events on a state holiday.
After the collapse of the USSR, the youth holiday was moved to April 27, and the date was officially fixed. But it was not renamed "Youth Day" , but shortened to Youth Day. But in many post-Soviet countries, events are still held on the last weekend of June. According to the good old tradition that has developed over many years as part of the union state.
Who's celebrating
It is important to understand not only what date Youth Day is celebrated in 2024, but also who belongs to this category of the population. it is customary to refer to it citizens aged 16-35 years. Whereas in the world, according to WHO, a person is considered young in the period from 18 to 44 years. This difference is explained in different evaluation criteria.
A third of the population will gather to celebrate the holiday. Approximately 40 million citizens live in the country, who can be safely classified as “young”. Most of them are happy to take part in events organized by the city or region. The main features of this group are:
- energy;
- mobility;
- the ability to generate ideas;
- high work efficiency;
- stamina;
- high learnability;
- good he alth.
But the main task of such a holiday as youth day in 2024 is to increase attention to the problems of this category of the population. They constantly face unemployment, rising crime rates, shifting priorities, lack of prospects for growth and personal development. All this requires close attention from the state and decision-making at the highest level.
Most employers are afraid to hire young employees, citing their lack of experience. The created programs allow for internships and give a guarantee for a trial period to such personnel. Of great importance is the negative impact of the media on young minds, more and more people refuse to register marriages or have children. Organized events and social support of the population are designed to ensure the promotion of traditional family values in society.
As noted
This holiday was created to realize the potential of a certain category of the population. In preparation for it, students, schoolchildren, and just everyone can try their hand at organizing entertainment events. Concerts are held in the cities, where groups, vocalists or dancers with unusual numbers perform, parades take place, and final awards for certain achievements.There are practically no restrictions on the possibility of implementing ideas.
Recently, the state is paying more and more attention to this holiday, in the context of the social component. Charity events and fairs are usually organized, the proceeds are directed to important public projects.
Promotions are also organized in theaters and museums, upon presentation of a student or student card, admission is often discounted or completely free. In the final, the young population always expects an incendiary disco and fireworks. What will please the holiday in 2024 can only be guessed.
