Abstract: the study of conflicts among young people and their prevention as a decisive factor in the socio-economic development of the region is an urgent problem. Various sources of information have been studied on this topic, which give the reasons for the occurrence of conflicts in various spheres of society and what are the ways of their development. Conflicts among today’s youth are diverse. For a productive resolution of conflicts, it will be necessary, first of all, to have knowledge and skills among young people exposed to conflicts. In addition, absolutely all people living all over the world are prone to conflicts, as everyone has their own values, motives, views, positions that are opposite in comparison with other parties to the conflict. Conflicts arising in the youth environment are based on the aggravation of interests between them in connection with the age inequality of social status, associated with the age uneven distribution of material and spiritual wealth, power and prestige. Young people today believe that the most common cause of the escalation of conflicts is the age aspect, as adults impose their point of view on young people, at the same time, regardless of their opinion. Currently, more and more new mechanisms for resolving conflicts in the economic sphere are being developed, in particular, the actions of the parties to the socio-economic conflict and their subjects are controlled.
