Drawing on data from VCIOM, HeadHunter, HSE University, Rosstat, and other sources, the study identifies three categories of indicators: macroeconomic (persistent labor shortages, a shrinking youth workforce); behavioral (growing subjective confidence, a shift in value priorities toward flexibility and self-realization, high propensity for job mobility); and institutional (lagging and uneven adaptation by employers). The aim of this study is to provide a sociological interpretation of these indicators. Based on this interpretation, the study formulates assumptions regarding potential interconnections between structural, value-based, and resource conditions. These assumptions are not empirically tested within this paper and are outlined as a framework for further research. © Petrozavodsk State University |
