En este artículo se presenta una aproximación al estudio de las relaciones entre orientación educativa, mercado laboral y globalización. Para esto se analiza el vínculo entre el empleo y la oferta profesional de las carreras que ofrece la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. La intención es reflexionar teóricamente en torno a las corrientes que explican y sustentan el discurso de la orientación educativa hacia el mercado de trabajo profesional y determinar si existe una relación funcional o conflictiva que requiera generar, si es necesario, otra perspectiva de estudio e intervención de la orientación con base en la información empírica obtenida. Esto a partir de las transformaciones técnico-estructurales que ha provocado la globalización económica en el campo de trabajo.

This paper intends to explore the aspects related to the gender stereotypes, altruism and career choices among adolescents. In order to analyze the aspirations and career orientation of young generations we used a survey to measure gender stereotypes and a personality scale to measure altruism; a careers inquiry technique has been used to investigate their professional aspirations. Qualitative research allows us to define career profiles used by participants and to predict their interests in male and female professions affected by gender stereotypes. The results show that most altruistic young people tend to be less influenced by gender stereotypes in the evaluation of career choices. Moreover, altruists prefer more relational professions, thus confirming altruism as a favorable dimension for a pro-social working life. The implications of this article will serve as a resource for educational programs to promote altruism as a way of thinking and to prevent gender stereotypes. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0792/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

For higher education institution, one of the most important tasks is to form its own competitive advantages, search, interest and retain consumers, because the main goal of HEIs is its long-term successful activity based on the quality of educational services. On the one hand, the transition to market relations has contributed to the emergence of nongovernmental (private) higher education institutions, increasing the number of participants and a variety of educational programs. On the other hand, the demand for higher education services has risen sharply. As a result, competition in the education market has intensified, which has prompted higher education institutions to increasingly use marketing to adapt their activities to market conditions. The complexity of positioning a higher education institution is determined by the diversity of consumers of educational services, including employers as representatives of the labor market. Therefore, the task of the educational organization is to find a unique position that, being significant for all or most consumers, would allow the higher education institution to differentiate itself from competitors. The article investigates the directions of positioning of higher education institutions. It is established that as a result of increasing competition in the market of educational services, there is a need for higher education institutions to increasingly use marketing to adapt their activities to market conditions.

Conducting research on the quality of life of young people and the impact on it of such a significant factor as the youth labor market, as well as related research on the problems of state support for young people, require the use of simulation methods due to the incompleteness of information and poorly structured problems of such complex systems as the quality of life of young people and the labor market. The article gives a brief overview of the categories “labor market”, “quality of life”, “youth”, which is necessary to determine the content of cognitive modeling of the complex system “youth, labor market, quality of life”. The technology of cognitive modeling is briefly presented. The results of the application of cognitive simulation modeling to the study of the quality of life of young people in relation to the labor market are presented. An example of modeling is presented in the form of a corresponding cognitive map and a number of scenarios for the possible development of situations on it, which may arise under the assumed influence of various social and economic factors, as well as under the influence of regulatory and control systems.
