“…В современных условиях институциональные и технологические изменения в экономике и обществе приводят к тому, что в российское образование утрачивает позитивную роль «социального лифта» и не дает гарантий удачного трудоустройства (Свадьбина, Немова, 2018). При этом несмотря на различные управленческие реформы, направленные на консолидацию высшего образования, включая введение ЕГЭ, проблема несогласованности рынка высшего образования и рынка труда остается нерешенной (Greene, 2018;Denisova-Schmidt, Leontyeva, 2014). Структура специальностей и компетенций в существующей системе высшего образования не учитывает как вызовы инновационного развития отечественной экономики, так и структурные сдвиги в мировой экономике.…”

The study analyzes precarization in the context of state educational policy and university graduates' employment. The literature review was prepared by the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The data of the three focus groups formed an empirical basis for identifying and analyzing institutional factors related to public education policy. The hypothesis that higher education programs do not meet the needs of the modern labor market has been confirmed, which leads to unstable employment of graduates. The reasons for unstable youth employment are related to the gap between the educational and economic policies: inflated expectations, lack of personal initiative, heterogeneity in the quality of higher education, the particularities of industries and professions, as well as the specificities of the Russian labor market. There are mechanisms to overcome negative effects and adapt to technological, institutional, and economic changes. These mechanisms include developing a state system for supporting young specialists, improving the institutions of information interaction between universities, businesses, and graduates, creating horizontal networks of graduates to promote their interests in the labor market.

“…Scholars have concentrated on classifications and perception of corruption, under the dominant assumption that corruption (often too broadly defined; for a debate, see Polese, 2014; Werner, 2002) has negative effects on a wide variety of aspects of a country (Osipian, 2008, 2009b; Ram et al., 2007; Rumyantseva, 2005). Emphasis on anti-corruption measures and remedies can be seen stemming from these assumptions and subsequent attempts to develop what Samson calls the anti-corruption industry (Sampson, 2010) applied to higher education issues in Ukraine and the rest of the former USSR (Denisova-Schmidt and Leontyeva, 2014; Denisova-Schmidt et al., 2015; Osipian, 2009a).…”

In post-socialist spaces, informal payments in educational institutions have often been at the centre of anti-corruption campaigns. A direct consequence, so far, has been that reforms in the public sector have largely been based on attempts to eradicate, or at least minimize, the phenomenon of informal payments. Ukraine is no exception. According to several independent surveys, educational institutions are second only to health care providers for the number of informal transactions recorded. While more than two in three of Ukrainians claim to have engaged with informal exchanges in the past 12 months, almost half of them has made an informal payment in an educational institution, be this a university or a school. The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, we explore the nature and relevance of the phenomenon of informal payments in the educational sector. We rely for this on quantitative studies showing how widespread informal payments are. Second, we provide an alternative explanation on informal payments by suggesting that they have an ambiguous function: while often regarded as a legacy of the socialist period, they can also be seen as a way to cope with an ineffective system that is mostly based on informal rules. By doing this we will provide some recommendations on how anti-corruption policies, and in general reforms aimed at decreasing the amount of informal payments in the country, could be improved.

This is the first paper that evaluates the effects of a reform requiring Russian universities to make admission decisions based on the results of a national highschool exam. We show the reform led to a threefold increase in geographic mobility rates among high-school graduates from small cities and towns to start college. This is robust to different techniques, samples, and specifications. The reform was also accompanied by increases in students' expectations to attend university, parental transfers, and educational expenditures. There is no evidence the reform affected parental labor supply, divorce, and employment outcomes of graduates who did not move.
