All around the world, countries are undergoing the Second Demographic Transition due to the education availability for women, the development of medicine and improving the quality of life. As part of this transition, the birth rate falls, but the average life expectancy rises. In this regard, modern youth is unique in every sense. Firstly, it is not numerous. Secondly, it is more educated. In the 20th century, not everyone could get even a secondary education. In the 21st century, education is available to almost everyone. Moreover, young people want to develop constantly and learn something new. They focus on personal development, mindfulness and continuous learning of new skills. Thirdly, modern youth is less in conflict with older generations than all the previous generations. Parents of modern adolescents and young people are more responsible and conscious about family planning.
