Research Director VTSIOM Elena Mikhailova noted that in recent years there has been a significant transformation in the perception of different sectors of employment. According to her, due to the measures taken to improve the level of financial security and social status of doctors, teachers, military personnel, the attractiveness of employment in these areas increased significantly.

The structure of expectations of Russians on the professional future of children today, more than a decade ago, meets the current needs of the labor market that provides the potential for the harmonious development of society,” — said Mikhailov.
