Mobilization of the entire national internal resources for country development requires a formation of the effective youth policy system. It is necessary to create mechanisms for the internal investments to the social sector of the country, when any citizen is able to contribute his or her expertise, energy and innovations to the development of Kazakhstan. Nowadays, it is necessary to build a system of the education and progress in order to bring up public managers of new formation that would correspond to the demands of the new century.
