Cherednichenko G. The Personal Plans of Graduates of Secondary Educational Institutions

Abstract

As the younger generation entered independent life at the end of the 1990s, they had to come up against and cope with abrupt changes in the development of Russian society, stemming, in particular, from society's conversion to the market economy, which has gone hand in hand, in particular, with a drastic change in the possibilities of finding jobs, pluralization of the system of education, and ever stronger social differentiation of the population. In what ways have all these things affected the life plans of young people, including the students of secondary educational institutions, that is, high schools, secondary specialized collages, secondary vocational schools? How have these things affected the shaping of the specific life plans of the different groups of graduates of these educational institutions? Answers to these questions were the object of a survey conducted in 1998 by the Center of Education and Youth, Institute of Sociology, Russian Academy of Sciences.
