Abstract
The formation of modern youth is taking place in the period of socio-political transformations, which directly impact the life orientations of young people, their behaviour, social-economic situation. The factors mtioned above contribute to the spread of risks associated with threats to health and life, uncertainty of life start and self-realization, value and regulatory uncertainty. The purpose of the article: is to study approaches to identifying risk factors that impact the youth environment. Research methods applied: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature (to clarify the key concepts of the study), systematization (in order to identify existing scientific approaches to solving the problem), theoretical generalization (to formulate the final provisions and conclusions). If earlier scientific researches were mainly concentrated within the limits of natural-scientific and economic courses, now the allocation of a separate interdisciplinary direction − riskology is actual. The majority of young people experience the problem of life-start, which has a negative impact on the working career of young people, their family life and lifestyle and makes young people financially dependent on their parents. Globalization has had a significant impact on the development of the risk society. In the context of globalization, traditional social ties are being destroyed; young people avoid traditional restrictions, but at the same time lose a sense of reliability, stability, confidence in the future and feel anxious and afraid of the need to choose. Therefore, public policy should take into account all the factors that have a negative impact on the youth environment and help minimize the risks and form «socially healthy» youth.

The social development of the youth can: have destructive forms; become a continuation of social experience got by previous generations; acquire the features of expanded reproduction by renewing living conditions and the system of social relations [11]
In a risk society, as a rule, there are no clear ideas about development goals
Summary
Today’s adolescents and youth form a quarter of the world’s population. They are shaping social and economic development, challenging social norms and values, and building the foundation of the world’s future. Uncertainty of the new reality, instability of social processes, penetration of risk into all spheres of society determined the emergence of border areas, the study of which was possible only on the basis of interdisciplinary approaches. Zubok [10] understand by reproduction the constant repetition, continuous renewal of the process of social production, called to ensure the development of society and its individual groups as a whole system.
