Youth plays an important role in the socio-economic development of Ho Chi Minh City. State management of youth work aims to ensure the comprehensive development of this force, contributing to the development of high-quality human resources to serve the modernization and international integration. This study analyzes the current status of the state management system for youth in Ho Chi Minh City, including the legal framework, implementation mechanisms, and youth support programs. The results show that although Ho Chi Minh City has a fairly complete policy system and synchronous implementation mechanisms, challenges such as uneven awareness of youth work, loose coordination mechanisms, and limited financial resources and management data remain. The study has proposed solutions to improve the effectiveness of state management of youth work, including raising political awareness, perfecting inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms, ensuring financial resources, building a youth data system and developing a team of specialized staff. The synchronous implementation of these solutions would help Ho Chi Minh City make the most of the potential of young people, contributing to the city's sustainable development.Referințe
