ANALYSIS OF EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF RUSSIAN YOUTH

The paper presents a dynamic aspect of the change in the typical educational trajectories of formal education of Russian youth over the past 20 years. Based on the analysis of the expansion of access to education and increasing educational mobility of young Russians, it was concluded that the flexibility and adaptability of the education system have increased. Access to higher education has also increased for young people who previously received secondary vocational education after leaving school for various reasons. At the same time, to a large extent, the increase in the level of education for this group of workers is associated with training in the programs of Economics, Management, Law in the conditions of combining education and full employment. Probably, in these conditions, it is legitimate to say that the expansion of accessibility of higher education through the use of non-linear trajectories of its production is associated with its lower quality.
