ABSTRACT

In the report of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the implementation of state policy in the field of education in 2022”) presented to the Federation Council in June 2023, it was stated that one of the tools for achieving its strategic goals is “the formation of an integral system of personnel staffing for the scientific and technological development of the country". The system of personnel staffing in economic sectors forms the scientific and technical potential of industry and has a direct impact on the quality of life of industry workers and the population as a whole. Naturally, this creative process requires a project. One of the basic principles of designing complex systems is decomposition, based on the fact that such systems are created by the formation of a set of interconnected and interacting, but structurally relatively autonomous subsystems. In relation to the system of personnel staffing for the country's economy, social and other spheres of society, such subsystems can be identified in the entire set of these spheres. These include construction, industry, agriculture, energy, transport, communications, housing and communal services, education, culture, trade, etc. The article was written in this context, which develops a number of provisions of O.V. Budzinskaya’s doctoral dissertation, the design a staffing system of high-qualified personnel for the energy sector is discussed, taking into account the innovations proposed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in connection with Russia’s withdrawal from the Bologna process. Having proved for many years the point of view that engineering education does not end at a university, the authors, relying on the methodology of systems analysis and the basic principles of systems theory, and on the basis of a comparative analysis of trends in engineering education in economically developed countries, substantiate the thesis about the inexpediency of continuous development in a situation of active development education, in particular, the corporate segment in it, a unified standard for enlarged groups of areas and specialties of engineering training in terms of the duration of basic and specialized education programs. The subject of the study is the professional education system of the Russian Federation. The object of the study is a multi-level system of engineering education in Russia. The purpose of the study is to argue that the multilevel nature of Russian education is not connected with the Bologna process and to justify the need for a systematic approach to optimizing the duration of educational programs at each level.

ABSTRACT

The paper examines the imperatives and dialectics of labor immigration as a resource for economic growth, on the one hand, and a source of risks in the economic and social sphere, on the other. The history and modern experience of the expansion of mass migration to developed countries state the growing negative consequences that have features in modern Russia (hypertrophied demand for cheap labor, the growth of non-labor immigration, etc.). In the context of the theory of a dual labor market, an assessment of the autonomy of its foreign segment, as well as the growth of competitive crossings of migrants and national personnel, is given. The analysis of Russia's migration attractiveness in the post-Soviet space is carried out in the format of neoclassical theory. The proposed methodology for assessing systemic factors and the calculations carried out confirm the excessive resources and risks of mass migration in the regional aspect, most industries operating on the domestic market, In Russia as a whole, the number of employed migrants from the CIS countries is estimated at 8.8 million people, with the number of legally employed 3.8 million people. The analysis of variable factors allowed us to state the structural restructuring of the national labor market. with the movement of local personnel in the defense industry and the shortage of qualified personnel, it is not possible to replace them with migrants from poor CIS countries, most of which do not have a close connection with the labor market. An important conclusion has been made about the necessary adjustments to migration policy, taking into account the principles of normative attraction of labor immigration and selective naturalization of new citizens.

ABSTRACT

In the article, the authors turn to the study of platform employment in the context of its quality. The subject of the article is platform employment and digital labor platforms (DLPs). The object of the study is the quality of employment on DLPs. The study used analytical information from open sources, data from Russian and international statistics, and reports from international organizations. Based on statistical data, socio-demographic portraits of platform workers in BRICS countries are formulated. The authors also provided a critical analysis of the methods used to measure the quality of employment and carried out an assessment of the quality of employment on platforms for several countries, based on reports from Fairwork and open data. They conclude that it is a high degree of differentiation in the quality of employment on DLPs depending on the way of performing work (online or offline), the presence of platform work as the only employment of the worker, the degree of control of the platform over the worker and the type of work performed. Additional labor characteristics, in addition to the lack of social protection, are identified that worsen thequality of platform employment compared to traditional employment. Based on an analysis of the methodologies of the European Fund and the international European project Fairwork, it is illustrated that for many workers, the deteriorating characteristics of the quality of platform employment are such parameters as the volume of employment (excessive or insufficient), the balance of work and other areas of life, diversity of working tasks, labor cooperation, social interaction, opportunities for development and professional growth of workers.

ABSTRACT

The events that began in February 2022, and the subsequent new, much more serious Western sanctions, as well as the departure of a number of foreign companies from the country, required a significant intensification of the work of Russian industry. However, it turned out that enterprises in the real sector of the economy are acutely short of engineering, technical and labor personnel. The largest enterprises that have received serious government orders solve the personnel problem by sharply increasing wages. At the same time, up to half of industrial enterprises indicate a continuing shortage of personnel. The article presents a retrospective description of the situation with staffing in Russian industry. It is shown that, starting from the “default” of 1999, with the onset of the next crisis, declarations are made about the importance of developing one’s own industry and a corresponding turn in economic policy is announced, however, in reality, practically nothing changes, as evidenced by the current personnel crisis. Research conducted with the participation of the author over the past twenty years and concerning the labor mobility of university graduates (2005); students' ideas about the demand for engineering work (2007 and 2010); work of vocational education institutions in an industrialized city (2014); personnel supply in priority industries (2016–2017), made
it possible to identify the reasons for the personnel shortage and the conditions for overcoming it. The key reasons are the low level of profitability of industrial enterprises, instability of workload, unclear prospects, and the root cause is an economic policy built on initially incorrect postulates and in the interests of global competitors. Accordingly, the condition for overcoming the personnel shortage is, firstly, the implementation of such monetary, fiscal and foreign trade policies that would allow the high-tech sector to reach the level of profitability necessary to attract and retain qualified labor. And, secondly, the state builds an effective strategic planning system that allows enterprises
to reliably plan their activities for the long term.
