At the individual level, mobility means developing the qualities of adaptability, flexibility, willingness to change («gently» or radically) their practice, to adapt to a new environment, often perceived as «unfriendly» one. The capacity for mobility and adaptation in professional or social environment is directly related to lifelong learning and its specific form — self-education. Selftraining is the activity directed by the man himself, the value in the structure of the behavioral preferences and the social institution, if it is accepted by government and/or society.
