The article presents a study of psychological safety in the structure of values of young people living in an urban environment. Also, the gender factor was taken into account to understand young people’s social expectations and as an explanatory framework for the individual fate of each person. The results show that in both young men and women the value of safety is built into the very value context that is fundamental for young people at a certain stage of their life. These studies show that it is a sense of safety that creates real opportunities to meet the natural and social needs of the present and provides grounds for confidence in the future.
