Imbalance in estimates of the cost of the youth in the labor market of employers and job seekers as a factor of unsustainable socio-economic development

Abstract

The authors’ research is devoted to the study of career expectations of young professionals entering the labor market in terms of the cost of their labor. The heads of enterprises and scientists are faced with the acute question of how to learn to understand the behavior of new actors in the labor market in order to effectively use their potential. The situation on the labor market in Russia remains unstable and variable. There is no balance between supply and demand for certain professions, in labor cost estimation, so it is difficult for a young specialist to find a job in their specialty. From the position of sustainable socio-economic development, management decisions should balance the needs of the future and the present in the labor market, which corresponds to the use of investments (investments in labor capital), in view of technological progress and ongoing institutional changes. The materials of the empirical base of the study are the results of monitoring resumes of applicants on the labor market in a number of labor-surplus and well-provided regions by gender and certain age groups, salary expectations depending on education, as well as by working conditions (salary) from employers indicated in vacancies according to the Scientific Research Center data in the field of career guidance and labor psychology.
