Summary

Introduction

Nowadays radical changes in the social sphere and labor market have led to the quality changing of the requirements for the universities graduates’ professional status—this is true about future economists as well. The category of professional mobility (PM in the further text) is introduced in the scientific terminology due to the life demands themselves: non-stop changing of the labour market situation makes the universities graduates work hard at constant qualifications development, at knowledge gaining and at self-education (Mannikova, 2009). Some authors explain mobility as the ability of a person to find oneself quickly in the unknown surrounding and the skill to implement the necessary activity forms there (Zvereva, Shevchenko, & Katkova, 2006). In their opinion, the presence of this personal trait is expressed in his/her energy, making right choices, giving objective evaluation of one’s possibilities, aspiration to be a success. The majority of research papers differentiate professional and social forms of mobility (Patrick & William, 2007), which are sometimes seen as a wholesome category “social-professional mobility” (Dementieva, 2009; Kalinovsky, 2001)
