Employment Attitudes of Graduates of Higher and Secondary Specialized Educational Institutions of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic

Abstract

International expert councils single out the transformations taking place in the labor markets under the influence of the achievements of information and technological progress as one of the most significant risks of sustainable development. Experts note that the process of division of labor between people and artificial intelligence will lead to the release of significant labor resources. These processes are fraught with serious risks for social stability in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The purpose of the presented work is to study the labor attitudes of graduates of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions of Kabardino-Balkaria. The conducted research showed that a systemic problem of training personnel for the regional economy is manifested in the republic. Career guidance, which, if applied effectively, can serve as one of the key factors in the socio-economic development of the region, is poorly organized. A significant part of the youth of the republic does not receive up-to-date information about potential directions for the development of the economy and the labor market, and the vocational guidance lessons themselves do not arouse their interest. This leads to the fact that many graduates do not show the desire to continue working in their profession. It was also revealed that among graduates of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions in the region there is a widespread desire, after graduation, to start an entrepreneurial activity and work for themselves, which indicates a decrease in the importance of paternalistic behavior patterns among the population of the region, especially among young people.
