Active and passive labour market policies on the Russian labour market: Centralization or regionalization?

The structural consolidation of the higher education network, a diminishing commercial segment, and an increase in vocational training enrollment over the past decade are all signs that higher education expansion in Russia has come to an end. The aim of this article is to find possible explanations and analyze macro-level factors of this phenomenon from an economic, sociological and political-economic perspective. Based on the statistical and monitoring data, the paper shows that the decrease in enrollment is due to a shortage in higher education programs, limited financial accessibility and shifts in the economic efficiency of educational strategies. Declining participation in higher education seems to be more of a tendency for less affluent and educated families, who are redirecting towards vocational training. A declining number of part-time correspondence programs and university departments, as well as the vertical stratification of the institutional landscape, reinforce the social differentiation of educational expectations and opportunities. The stratification and professionalization of tertiary education are also examined as part of the evolution of the conservative political-economic model in Russia.

The article discusses the status of quantitative and qualitative data in economic sciences, as well as methods for transforming data into information and knowledge. Particular attention is devoted to content analysis as a set of methods for aggregating, processing and analyzing qualitative data; its forms (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods) and uses by economists. Content analysis appears to be particularly suitable for non-orthodox economists because of their refusal to consider price as the only source of economic information. The content analysis of metadata of articles indexed in Web of Science and eLibrary suggests that Russian economists still have insufficient familiarity with the principles of content analysis and their applications to research compared with their Western counterparts. It is argued that the creation of on-line platforms for content analysis and on-line banks of qualitative data may become a trigger for changing this situation.
