Abstract:

Modern development of the labor economics in Russia is associated with changes in society as a whole, with a gradual transition of society to an information type. A new estimate by society of higher education, opportunities to get and to use this good in the manpower formation allows largely predetermine the state strategy for the development of higher education system designed to help in achieving the required level of professional competencies of the workforce on one hand and on the other hand the labor market state regulation strategy: including mechanisms reducing the structural imbalances in the labor market; increasing the workforce quality; achieving the balance in the labor market through the formation of professional competencies of personnel that meet the needs of employers. In the early period of the labor market transformations in Russia the attitude of the population to higher professional education is changing, namely its socio-economic importance is lost because of the high discount rate of the population, that is, expectations of rapid income with less expense. As the labor market develops there is public interest in professional education and the desire to develop professional competence in accordance with the existing ideas about the demand for the specialties in purpose of obtaining future revenue as payment for the acquired competencies level and its implementation at the employment place. All this determines the need for a systematic study of the young people motivation in the process of their professional competencies forming, especially the professional orientation of young people in today's socio-economic conditions, expectations of young people from obtained professional competence in order to identify current trends of social and economic behavior of youth in the process of professional development, to identify existing imbalances of their socio-economic assessment.
The social model of workforce formation is represented by the explained variable which is the "professional education" good endowed with the properties of economic public and private good and regressors such as: personality, socialization process; agents of socialization.
The social model of manpower formation comes from the general econometric prerequisites for the regression models constructing and has the following general requirements to the regressors and the explained variable: the dependence is linear; the number of observations is greater than the estimated coefficients; the expected value of error for fixed regressors is equal to zero; conditional homoscedasticity takes place; the conditional uncorrelation of random error takes place; the vectors of the individual observations are independent and identically distributed; among regressors there are no linearly dependent ones; the assessments are effective and unbiased. Information bases of the research include the laws and legislation in the field of social and labor relations, the labor market of Russian Federation; statistical data of Federal Service of State Statistics, UNICEF, Data of State Higher School of Economics; and the results of author’s monitoring and expedition empirical studies carried out with the financial support of the Government of Moscow, Department of Family and Youth Policy of Moscow, the Union of non-state universities of Moscow and the Moscow region, state funds of scientific research supporting (RFH and RFBR) for the period 2001- 2015.
