  The monographic study "Juvenology" is presented in this book as "The culture of understanding the youth of selt-creation", which is; in our opinion, the social result of juvenile research. The monograph "Juvenology" is devoted to the scientific solution of a promising problem of studying youth as an age group of a certain generation in the context of its formation and development in social culture. Time is a determining factor in the juvenile methodology, which brings to the fore the definition of youth as a generation, which is quite conditionally reminiscent of the research silvet of defining youth as an age group.
  During its development, human civilization has repeatedly focused its research on the study of differences and the resulting features of childhood and respectable age, which led to the emergence and cultivation of pedagogy as a theory, history and methods of teaching and educating children, short separation of pedology hygiene and psychology of the child, the emergence of pediatrics and geriatrics as medical fields of knowledge about typical diseases and their treatment in childhood and old age.
  The proposed monograph takes into account these trends and focuses on the peculiarities of development and socio-cultural formation of the younger generation. The book considers young people as an object of research, which is also the subject of their own self-realization. Based on this, the transfer of ways and methods of social interaction with young people as part of society is much broader than it is covered by the actual pedagogical means.
  At the same time, the authors do not set themselves the goal of defining juvenology as a separate science and even consider such a definition as a certain narrowing of its subject boundaries. It is primarily a focus of research in the field of juvenile science, which is a synthetic combination of the most diverse knowledge about this period of human life. At the same time, given the historical trends in the formation of subject limits of scientific knowledge, it should be borne in mind that these limits are conventional, ie created by researchers by agreement for their research convenience. What is the purpose of such a definition? We sec the value of defining juvenileism as a subject area of combining different sciences in the study of youth as a constantly changing generation of people, which has inherent only in its age socially important I eat tires of self-realization, affecting subsequent periods of life and each modern period of human civilization. In any case, the concept of juvenileism focuses the researchers' attention on the results that are the result of youth research, and with which everyone agrees. If it seems that the concept of youth research can be synonymous with juvenile science, then this is not entirely true, because "logos" as "teaching" and as "science" requires a result, not just the process itself. Based on this, juvenile science appears as a scientific term, and a scientific concept, imd a scientific category that defines its own subject field, and its own research process, and its own research result.
  The idea of creating this book arose from the realization of the fact that the results of youth research are valuable and, like any other, deserve to define their own subject field with the appropriate term, concept and category as a subject area.
