Abstract

The article analyses theoretically and methodolog-ically the influencing factors and the levels of formation of students’ economic self-determination in the period of so-cial changes. Self-determination is a socio-psychological phenomenon formed on basic psychological processes and aimed at finding by an individual of their own way of life to meet their needs. The most important factors of students’ economic self-determination are their financial well-being, formation of personality, professional self-determination and, only then, formation of their social identity. Economic self-determination is considered by students as self-determination in the economic environment with the pur-pose to achieve an optimal position in the system of eco-nomic relations (labour, exchange, property, distribution, etc.). Students’ economic self-determination is consid-ered by us as self-determination in the economic environ-ment with the following purposes: to achieve an optimal position in the system of economic relations (labour, ex-change, property, distributive, etc.); to have an attitude to socio-economic conditions and their dynamics; to develop their own ideas about life meaning and life goals, life prin-ciples, values; to outline own rights (borders, boundaries); to perform self-analysis of one's own expectations and po-tential opportunities to meet them. Students’ economic self-determination is the step-by-step formation of their economic consciousness in so-cially close environment (family, friends, etc.) based on everyday knowledge on economic reality, examples of pa-rental behaviour and their personal values. The main fac-tors influencing the formation of students’ economic self-determination are: personal qualities, value orientations, socio-demographic, socio-economic, economic, socio-cultural factors, as well as an individual’s attitude to other people and material values, to time and money, etc. We have also found that economic self-determination, as one of the factors of professional self-determination, influences young people’s choice of a self-sufficiency strategy. Modern youth chooses legitimate ways of economic self-sufficiency and considers entrepre-neurial activities as one of the ways to achieve self-sufficiency, and already hired jobs as temporary employ-ment after receipt appropriate education to gain experience or strengthen knowledge and skills. Thus, analyzing concepts presented by deterrent scientists and summarizing the reviewed literature, we con-sider economic self-determination as a process of achieving by an individual of their own position in economic rela-tions, which allow them to realize optimally their economic interests in the existing socio-economic conditions and their own understanding of life meaning, goals, principles, values, their rights and expectations.
