“…В научных исследованиях проблему NEET-молодежи рассматривали с различных точек зрения. В работе [1] проводилось исследование динамики и анализ раз-личий в показателях структуры и численности группы NEET в разных странах. Авторы пришли к выводу, что около 60 % NEET-молодежи в странах ОЭСР попали в эту группу из-за дисбаланса на рынке труда, а около 40 % имеют социальные или медицинские причины.…”

A particularly vulnerable group in the context of the transition from the education system to the labor market are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) young people, who are not studying, working or undergoing vocational training. This determines the necessity of the formation, within government regulation of youth unemployment, of tools to support this particular group of youth. The paper contains a statistical analysis of NEET youth in different countries in terms of dynamics and age and gender structure. Separate mechanisms and tools of government regulation of NEET youth are considered, which have proven their effectiveness on the example of Kazakhstan, which achieved a reduction in the NEET youth indicator from 9.5 % in 2017 to 6.9 % in 2021. The author proposed recommendations for the development and implementation in the practice of individual tools of government regulation of youth unemployment in the context of NEET youth. In particular, such a tool could be social programs of federal importance aimed at overcoming barriers in the “study – work” transition and reducing the number of young people falling into the NEET category. An important support measure could be the formation and improvement of a continuous education ecosystem including involving young people in additional education, which will help NEET young people enter the labor market. The author proposes to lay particular emphasis on the development of noncognitive skills, which are currently not fully covered by the education system, however, their influence on the trajectory of further education and transition to the labor market is confirmed by a number of scientific studies.

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 world of work is undergoing changes, necessitating a new approach to guiding school students in their career choices by the government, society, and businesses. In recent years, numerous initiatives have been implemented to expand young people's exposure to various professions. However, there is still no clear nationwide plan for establishing partnerships between schools and representatives of the real economy in terms of vocational guidance. Today's youth require organised career guidance support because relying solely on the experience of parents and previous generations when choosing a profession is no longer sufficient. During the Soviet era, the state played a more significant role in ensuring the welfare and social protection of workers, while industrialisation provided universal career trajectories and clear guidelines on preferred professions and education. Today, individual human capital has become a crucial resource for social mobility and high-paying jobs, and the growth of the service sector and technological progress have elevated the demand for highly skilled labor rather than specific professions in certain economic sectors. The first part of the article focuses on reviewing important questions that need to be addressed when considering this issue. Is there a need for centralised efforts by society and the state to organise vocational guidance activities and assist teenagers in choosing a profession today? What is the transformation of the discourse on school vocational guidance in post-Soviet Russia? In the second part of the article, based on the results of a pilot study on the opinions of young men and women in Moscow, the embodiment of educational priorities in actual practice is analysed. The author concludes that the problem persists in the sense that school vocational guidance experiences are still unequal and strongly tied to pre-professional training, initially built on disparities in opportunities to explore professions, particularly in STEM fields.
