Abstract
The authors of this article consider the sociocultural marginality of student youth in the modern risk society as a problem property. Properties inherent in student youth: the passage of the process of secondary socialization and the assimilation of various social functions; the problem of choosing social values and guidelines; struggle between responsibility and irresponsibility; rationality and irrationality; the impact of the information environment on consciousness; being at the intersection of the real and virtual worlds, balancing between them. The main criteria for the marginal position of student youth are: the state of uncertainty and transitivity of status positions; exclusion or partial and incomplete inclusion of student youth in functioning social and professional structures; the destructive state of previously developed social norms, the inability to follow them; anomie as a social disorganization of the risk society, which determines the behavioral strategies of young people.
