In the context of the evolving global governance structure and the in-depth advancement of Chinese-style modernization, the 15th Five-Year Plan period constitutes a pivotal transitional phase for basically accomplishing socialist modernization. The strategic execution of this plan and the fulfillment of youth responsibilities have developed a profound interactive constructive relationship. Current academic research predominantly centers on the unidirectional guiding role of national plans for young people or examines specific youth practice cases. It lacks systematic theoretical construction of the “plan-youth” interactive relationship and insufficient cross-regional comparative studies on the coordination between youth development and national plans against the backdrop of globalization. Grounded on this research gap, with interactive constructionism as the theoretical underpinning, this paper integrates global cases of the coordination between youth development and national strategies. It proposes a “multi-dimensional dynamic adaptation” theoretical framework, thereby uncovering the two-way empowerment mechanism between the 15th Five-Year Plan and youth responsibilities. Employing a mixed research methodology that combines qualitative case comparison, in-depth interviews, quantitative questionnaires, and policy text analysis. This study systematically explores the core dimensions, practical paths, and guarantees systems for youth responsibilities to align with the 15th Five-Year Plan. It offers theoretical support for optimizing China’s youth development policies and enhancing the efficiency of plan implementation. The constructed “national plan-youth responsibility” coordination model provides Chinese solutions for developing countries to resolve the disconnection between youth development and national strategies.
