History
[edit]The ministry of youth and sports was first created in 1991 when two state committees of physical culture and sports and another of youth (minor) affairs were merged.
In 1996 the organ was reorganized when there was created a new ministry in family affairs and youth, while sports agency was degraded to its child agency as a state committee. Until 2005 it was a state committee.
In 2000 the reorganization of the Ministry of Family Affairs and Youth led to its liquidation and both youth and sports agencies were merged again along with the state committee of tourism for less than a year.
In 2004–2005 the Ministry of Family Affairs and Youth was revived, and sports agency once again became its child agency as a state committee.
In 2005 the ministry of youth and sports was reestablished again. In 2005–2005 there existed the combined Ministry of Family Affairs, Youth and Sports.
In 2010 the Government of Ukraine led by Party of Regions in announced about reorganization of its government hierarchy when the consolidated ministry was merged again with the Ministry of Education and Science for the next three years as part of the 2010 Yanukovych administrative reform, while agency for sports was degraded to the state service of youth and sports. Finally in 2013 the state service again was given the ministerial portfolio.
The agency in charge of tourism was oscillated and renamed in 2001 as the State Tourism Administration and later in 2004 it was transferred to the Ministry of Culture.
In 2019-2020 the Ministry of Youth and Sports was combined with the Ministry of Culture as part of the 2019 Zelensky administrative reform.
Since 2020, the government agency of youth and sports has been split from the Ministry of Culture and its own ministry.
Criticism
