This article examines the formation of youth social capital, its structural components and its significance for the socio-economic and institutional development of society from a sociological perspective. The theoretical foundations of social capital are explored through the scholarly approaches of Pierre Bourdieu, James Coleman, Robert Putnam, Nan Lin and other researchers. The article analyzes bonding, bridging and linking forms of youth social capital and their influence on education, employment, civic participation and social integration. Particular attention is paid to the transformation of young people's social relationships in the digital environment, the development of online communities, information exchange and digital trust. Based on the theoretical analysis, the article proposes a conceptual approach to developing youth social capital through mutual trust, open social networks, institutional cooperation and civic engagement.
