Abstract

Based on the results of a mass survey of employees of scientific institutions and universities, the article analyzes the impact that their income, secondary employment, professional development and quality of work are affected by changes associated with the transition to an “effective contract”, the assessment of the performance of scientists and teachers mainly on the basis of scientometric indicators, explicit or latent transition to fixed-term employment contracts. It is shown that in the conditions of the lack of demand for scientific knowledge and scientific expertise by the economy and the public administration system and, as a result, a significant underfunding of science and education, these measures do not lead to the expected effects, but, contributing to the growth of precarious employment, negatively affect the quality and productivity of scientific and pedagogical work, sharply reduce the social protection of scientists and teachers, do not increase and even reduce the prestige of the respective professions
