Abstract :This study aims to analyze the vision of youth policies outlined in the National Youth and Sports Policy Document. The research was conducted using the SWOT analysis method, a qualitative research technique. The National Youth and Sports Policy Document presents a vision that aims to cultivate young individuals who are committed to universal and national values, actively participate in social life, and exercise their fundamental rights and freedoms. The analysis reveals that among the strengths of the policy are its comprehensive vision that supports youth social participation and its emphasis on international competitiveness. However, challenges in implementation, resource constraints, and the lack of effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms have been identified as weaknesses that may hinder the full achievement of the policy’s objectives. Nevertheless, the potential for supporting youth development, enhancing social contributions, and leveraging opportunities for international cooperation increases the likelihood of the policy\\\'s success. On the other hand, changing economic and social conditions, as well as administrative challenges, pose significant threats to the sustainability of the policy. In conclusion, the National Youth and Sports Policy Document provides a crucial roadmap for the development of Turkey’s young population and their contribution to society. However, to fully realize this potential, it is essential to ensure the efficient use of resources, strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and develop strategies to address the identified weaknesses in the implementation process.
