“…Entertainment industry attracts more young people, the career growth becomes as a norm and is equal to success and self-realization (Jouravleva, 2013;Konstantinovsky, & Popova, 2015). As the rhythm of life increases, there is no time for a comprehensive development.…”

“…Researchers focus on educational path choices, education role in selfidentification, self-study as a personal development driver and a factor defining an individual's potential and personal characteristics, and so on. We would like to mention studies by D. L. Konstantinovsky [1], [2], [3], [4] which describe changes in academic interest towards youth education issues.

The paper summarizes the findings from research by Russian scholars into the expansion of online education technologies into Russian universities. Risks are described connected with the unpreparedness of the education process participants to be fully engaged in the new education format. Two opinion polls were organized among students and university staff in order to reveal their assessment of education strategies and their involvement in online education. The study has shown that neither students nor academic staff at provincial universities are sufficiently involved in the process, which does not enable any forecast to be made pertaining to online training efficiency. So far, it is only the opportunities to access, participate and use online education that can be assessed. The survey has revealed a significant difference in students’ and lecturers’ perception of online education. While students are ready to switch to the new format, lecturers prefer classical approaches. They display negative attitudes, tend to avoid changes and stress that the expansion of online education services may result in a lower status and loss of prestige for the teaching profession. The possibility of their participation in developing online education products is doubtful. The lack of either experience or desire to be involved in the process may result in a low quality of online courses and programs, if developed. The study enables the authors to define a problem field of youth education choice management. This field includes issues of self-study needs satisfaction, a lower level of knowledge in today’s young generation and information retaining difficulty, the “external memory” problem resulting from the abundance of gadgets et cetera. Risks are described pertaining to youth’s uncontrolled involvement in online education alternatives connected with human capital structure changes, emergence of negative generation characteristics and education prospects. Keywords: youth, academic staff, education, education strategies, online education, self-study

“…However, even for those in vocational schools, i.e. schools which educate qualified employees for industry, agriculture and services sector, this figure was 43.1% (Konstantinovskiy & Popova 2015). This way of thinking among young people depends strongly on their social origins, place of residence and their choice of educational trajectories.…”

The article analyses the process of rural youth entering the labour market in selected post-communist countries (Poland, Romania and Russia). Based on different types of local (national) and international source data, similarities and differences are discussed between the analysed countries. The article focuses on transition from education to a satisfactory job, nowadays a very complex process that takes up nearly the entire third decade of young people’s life. Although this process is just an external manifestation of general changes occurring in labour markets around the world, the experience of young people from post-communist countries in this area seems to be more traumatic than that of their peers in developed Western countries. Despite significant investments in education, it is difficult to deal with new challenges, particularly for the youth from rural areas. In all the analysed countries, chaotic career paths are typical of this population, and they are often based on temporary jobs, informal forms of employment or self-employment.
