This article provides a socio-philosophical analysis of the mechanisms underlying the formation of youth identity within the contemporary cultural space. The processes of globalization, digitalization, the rapid development of information and communication technologies, and the expansion of intercultural communication significantly influence the content and forms of youth identity. The study examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of the identity phenomenon, its axiological, cultural, and communicative determinants, as well as the specific features of its formation based on the harmony of national and universal values. Furthermore, the article substantiates the prospects and priority directions for the development of youth identity in the modern cultural environment.
