Frunzensky District ranks first in Minsk in terms of the number of young people aged 14 to 31. As of the beginning of 2024, 96,102 people live here, said Olga Chemodanova, Head of the Main Department for Ideological Work and Youth Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee, during a meeting dedicated to the implementation of youth policy, BELTA reports.
Moskovsky District ranks second in terms of the number of young people – 78,800 people, and Zavodskoy District ranks third – 55,472. The smallest number of young people is registered in Partizansky District – 25,644 people.
As Olga Chemodanova noted, such statistics make it possible to more accurately determine the needs of each district and direct resources to create new opportunities. Large districts such as Frunzensky and Moskovsky require large-scale venues for cultural, sports and educational events. In areas with fewer young people, such as Partizansky, it is important to focus on infrastructure development and targeted support.
“It is important that every young family and every young specialist feel the support of the state, regardless of where they live,” the head of the main department emphasized.
In 2024, more than 500 events for young people were held in Minsk, but their distribution across districts needs to be optimized. Among the priority tasks are the development of discussion platforms, the organization of patriotic events and support for proactive leaders.
Particular attention will be paid to the youth of the Zavodskoy District, where a significant portion of young people are employed in the industrial sector. This will allow for more effective use of the intellectual and labor potential of young people in the socio-economic development of the capital.
