The leading approach to the study of this problem is a phenomenological approach allowing presenting as a challenge the construction of a civil ideology that combines social groups’ multiple identities, including ethnic and religious ones. The article reveals the heuristic potential of the ideology theory and the solidarities’ concept for the specification of multiple identifications of young people in modern societies. The ideological dimension of identifications brings to the representation and legitimacy of group interests. Theory of solidarities allows evaluating the possibilities of identities’ different configurations emergence among youth groups.
