Abstract

The current problems of employment of modern Russian youth are analyzes. The formation of a professional and educational trajectory is considered. Restructuration of youth employment is discussed. This is one of important changes of labor market in the post-Soviet period. The number of young people in that sectors, where they were primarily employed earlier, has sharply declined. The youth unerringly grasped the changes in the economy, abandoned previous preferences and massively came to more attractive, rapidly developing industries. Changes in the economy have created a new variety at labor market. So a variety of new features for young people appeared. The diversity of the demand at labor market has led to a differentiation of the demand for education by professions, levels and quality. And this, in turn, led to an unprecedented differentiation of the sphere of education.
