In Russia, it was allowed to raise the upper limit of young people's age to 40 years. Currently, in Russia, youth is officially considered a socio-demographic group of citizens aged 14 to 35 years inclusive. However, these frameworks may change in light of changing demographic and social trends. The general director of the analytical center VTsIOM Valery Fedorov admitted the possibility of raising the upper age limit for young people in Russia to 40 years. In his opinion, modern reality allows people to feel younger.
Fedorov named the main reasons for this correction as the development of medicine and the constant trend towards a healthy lifestyle, which contribute to the extension of the active period in a person's life. The idea of the need to expand the age limits was previously supported by the academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the vice president of the Russian Academy of Education Gennady Onishchenko. In an interview with RIA Novosti, he noted that modern people maintain high mental and physical activity, as well as general performance, for a longer time, which makes it urgent to change the official status of young people.
