Abstract: The main characteristics of youth leisure, its structural and informative aspects are revealed in the article. Particular emphasis is placed on the forms of self-organization during leisure activities by young people. Among young people there is a differentiation both in terms of time allocated for leisure and in terms of its possibilities. At older youth ages, material possibilities increase, but at the same time, unconditioned leisure is replaced by various forms of coordinated and additional leisure. Compensatory leisure begins to play a big role. Younger youths are characterized by extra-familial forms of leisure, focused on communication with peers. The limited material resources, lack of urban leisure infrastructure lead to the active use of extra-institutional forms of leisure. Such forms of leisure, based on its independent organization of young people, allow to implement the basic functions of leisure. At the same time, they increase the likelihood of passive-entertaining and anti-social types of leisure activities.
