Young people are the main intellectual potential of society, the source of new labor force that’s
why they are potentially professionally mobile and socially active. The need to ensure decent conditions
for the development and well-being of young people is of paramount importance for further successful
development of society. Therefore, it is important to study the socio-economic well-being of the
modern Ukrainian youth, primarily at the local level. The article focuses on the following aspects: the
essence and the contents of the concept of special social services, the socio-economic status of young
people in the industrial city and their needs in special social services in the industrial city. The results
of a sociological research conducted by the author make up the basis of this paper. According to the
survey, most young people are in difficult circumstances and in need of increased attention of the city
authorities. The author emphasizes a low level of young people’s satisfaction with various aspects of
their life, including the level of youth policy implementation in the city. The most unstable situation is
for those who are 15-19 and 30-35. In this regard, it is necessary to reform the basic ways of realizing
youth policy at the local level to meet the needs and interests of all age categories of young people.
That will enhance their level of social protection and decrease the risk of their social vulnerability. The
results of this research should be used, first of all, in the development of a complex program of youth
social protection and provide timely and effective assistance to young people.
