THE LIFE OF YOUTH IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Nowadays there are about 7.5 million young people in Britain between the ages of 10 and 19, and it is believed that this number will grow to nearly 8 mln by 2004. Almost every aspect of Government domestic policy¹ affects the well being of young people and shapes their future. Education and training are among the Government’s responsibilities² for young people. Every young person should have the opportunity to get a good basic education.

Hundreds of voluntary³ youth groups and organizations play an active role in the life of young people in Britain. The majority of these organizations have become established⁴ on a voluntary basis by groups representing the interests of a particular sector of the population. They include:

1. religious community groups – Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist;

2. ethnic minority groups – organizations of youth in diasporas;

3. organizations providing for particular sporting and outdoor activities or hobbies, e.g. path-walkers, mountain-climbers, rockers, etc.;

4. groups focusing⁵ on activities for people with disabilities, etc.

Numerous youth organizations have been formed since the Second World War, uniting young people from all classes and sections of the population. In the USA exists a Young Republican Federation, Young Christian Association, some religious organizations for Jewish youth. Youth organization Green Peace deals with the most urgent⁶ ecological problems of today’s world. It protests against nuclear weapon test, sea and soil pollution, etc.

Sport clubs are characteristic youth organizations in the USA and United Kingdom. They unite people, who are interested in baseball, football, basketball, golf, etc. You can attend any club: from theatre clubs to bird-watching⁷ clubs. Bird-watching clubs are very popular, especially in Great Britain. But only relatively⁸ few people regularly attend youth clubs and organizations. Most of them are most interested in some activities that do not cost money and can be picked up or dropped with ease. Lack of their own money in the younger age group means that a great deal of their time is spent with friends, window-shopping in town, cycling or skate-boarding.

At 15 years old and above, young people try to find “Saturday jobs”, working as assistants in shops, cafes and restaurants. There are a great many things that young people wish to buy, including clothes and magazines, CDs and cassette tape music, computer games and jewelry. They save money for bicycles, motorbikes and, eventually⁹, cars of their own, and to have enough money to go to the discos and dances.

Most young men and about half of young women in Britain take a passive interest in sport or actively take part in a sporting activity on a regular basis. Fitness is encouraged¹⁰ through school and by a great many outside organizations. Football, either in school teams or in rapidly assembled groups playing during the school break times, is highly popular. Outside school activity include darts, chess, bowling and many other more social games.

Youth and youth movement over decades have become important factors in the life of any countries.
