Abstract: The present paper investigated the formation and implementation of the social youth capital. The social youth capital is defined as a set of “resources of a human, group or society that is in general formed and reproduced subject to the entity’s acceptance of values integrating with the reference environment, observance of norms relevant to interacting individuals that ensure the establishment of mutual trust and convertible in forms of institutions and practices (methods and technologies) and ensuring the attainment of life goals†. It is substantiated that the social capital of youth is mainly formed on the basis of relationships in four fields: family; neighbors; labor (including educational) groups; and virtual social networks. Similarly, it is contradictory and ambiguous in terms of consequences in each field. Family is the most important location for the formation of social capital, but social networks play increasingly important role in the development of youth. Young people consider participation therein as a kind of compensation for costs of direct inter-personal communication.
