<p>The article analyzes the prospects of work search by the graduates of higher educational institutions across the post-Soviet space using the example of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Currently, the problem of the employment selection strategy among the graduates of the post-Soviet space countries remains as a priority. Graduated experts at the labor market experience a complex of institutional problems: a small number of jobs, bureaucratization, inadequate knowledge for vacant posts, the lack of infrastructure at higher education institutions for the interaction with enterprises. All this leads to the dissatisfaction of specialists with their professional and social status, to the choice of a work place which does not correspond an acquired specialty, or to the use of personal ties of their family to the detriment of their own desires and qualifications, and, consequently, to the reproduction of disproportions in the economy. As a research in the field of economic sociology, the article relies on conflictological and structural-functional paradigms. A questionnaire is used to reveal the research topic. The objectives of the study are the following ones: the problems of graduate employment and the ways of their solution in Kazakhstan. The result of the conducted research showed that the successful adaptation of graduates at the labor market makes it necessary to develop and introduce effective educational programs in the teaching process, including practical-oriented disciplines that give the opportunity to obtain knowledge required by employers. The students of senior courses should study practical courses, preferably on practice bases, they should actively participate in the development and the implementation of specialized projects, grants, in scientific competitions, conferences, which will allow them to develop creative thinking, to understand the content of future profession, to master the basic theoretical and practical material.</p>

The transition path from education to employment is a key determinant of sustainable economic growth and development. A poorly trained workforce penalizes companies when they try to grow (Cojocaru, 2017, p. 25). It is generally accepted that university graduates as workforce are the key driver of economic growth and development. The main aim of this study is to identify the difficulties faced by enterprises in the Republic of Kosovo to provide the necessary profiles with adequate skills. Employers say students don’t have the ability to think critically, innovate, solve complex problems and work well in a team (Alsop, 2015) In order to analyze the problems that companies face during the selection process, the necessary training, and also the projections for new employments for the coming years, this study uses the primary data provided by the face-to-face questionnaire. The program used for data analysis in SPSS. We came to the conclusion that enterprises find it difficult to ensure the right skills they require, the university graduates lack practice experience and soft skills. The right person with the right skills in the right workplace is the driving force behind the well-functioning of the labor market. The study comes up with further recommendations for the well-functioning of the triangle higher education institutions, policymakers, and enterprises.

The article examines the problem of sovereignty of the Republic of Kazakhstan through the prism of Kazakh-Russian interstate relations. The key conclusions made by the authors are that, first of all, Kazakh-Russian relations are based on the post-Soviet model and the concept of the sovereignty of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which retains significant elements of the Soviet constitutional model of relations between the Union center and the republics; secondly, as part of this sovereignty model, the Republic of Kazakhstan has to make concessions in the economic, financial and other forms of sovereignty. However, the Republic of Kazakhstan makes no concessions in matters of territorial integrity and other fundamental aspects of its sovereignty. Thirdly, it was easier for the Republic of Kazakhstan to maintain the image of the Russian Federation as a strategic partner between 1991 and the mid-2000s, but since that time, the Russian Federation has been pursuing an openly neo-imperial policy in the post-Soviet space, thus, the increasing securitization of the relations with the Russian Federation requires great efforts from the Republic of Kazakhstan to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Educational Potential

The main tendency of the contemporary labor market is the structural unbalance of the existing volume and quality of educational potential to the pattern of demand, presented by employers. It becomes apparent not only in structural unemployment, but also in significant retardation of educational sphere development level from the real needs of the labor market. The necessity for staff training in new specialties and updating of actual education programs are conditioned by the fact, that this will promote the raise of economic competitiveness and keep the high and stable rate of growth. For successful work in creation and promotion of the innovations to production and increase of innovative activity, it is necessary to prepare the staff for the innovation sector, including the technical specialists with modern instruments. One of the vital problems of the existing education is revealed in unbalance of the level of specialists, graduated from universities, to the needs of society and the dynamics of its development. The solution of this problem will be promoted by the integration of education with the companies, participating in specialist training by means of field trips organization and execution of innovative projects together with the universities.

In the post-Soviet period, there was a significant narrowing of the Russian language distribution space. The aim of the study is to identify the changes that have taken place since the collapse of the Soviet Union at the level of the post-Soviet countries in the number and proportion of people who named Russian their native language. The novelty of this study is based on the level of regions in the post-Soviet space and the analysis of the dynamics of such indicators as to the share of the non-Russian population, who named Russian their native language. Almost all post-Soviet states experienced a decrease in the number and share of the Russian-speaking population. Currently, the minimum indicators of the proportion of Russians and Russian-speaking people are characterized by the states of Transcaucasia, as well as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. The biggest losses in the post-Soviet period of both the Russian and Russian-speaking population, in relative terms, were experienced by Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. A special dynamics of these indicators have developed in two states — in the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine. In these countries, the part of the biethnic population that adopted the identity of the titular ethnic group retained the Russian language. Russian, for example, has declined more rapidly in Ukraine than in the categories of people who consider Russian as their native language, and this has led to a decline in the number and share of the Russian population. The situation in the Republic of Belarus, which is unique in the post-Soviet space, was the result of the 1995 referendum that established the status of the state language for Russian. As a result, along with the decrease in the Russian population in the Republic of Belarus, there has been a significant increase in the category of citizens who named Russian their native language.

This article studies the employment of Kazakhstan university graduates in the professional labor market. The problem of matching the needs of employers and the interests and competencies of graduates of higher education institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan is of great importance and yet insufficiently studied. This article aims to analyze the possibility of employment and assessment of professional training of the graduates of Kazakhstan universities from the position of employers. Using the expert survey method, the authors present the main results obtained from Kazakhstan employers on the problems of employing young specialists and defining the requirements to their qualification. 643 employers from all regions of Kazakhstan took part in the survey. The analysis showed that Kazakhstan employers in certain professions look for the graduates of higher degrees (i. e. Masters and Ph.Ds.), but most employers in this study consider the training of students at the undergraduate level sufficient to enter the labor market. The study provides an insight into the main trends in the labor market for Kazakhstani graduates and how these trends affect the skills that graduates should possess; the key characteristics that employers pay attention to when employing higher education graduates; and the skills that graduates should possess in order to be successfully employed. The conclusion is that the institutions of higher education are concerned with developing an institutional narrative that is based on building long-term strategies to enhance the development of competencies for employing graduates. Currently, there is a dual situation in the evaluation of educational programs’ performance, caused by the gap between the goals that educational institutions set and the expectations of employers. This problem remains relevant even in conditions of a sufficiently high level of employment of graduates. In other words, the demand for certain groups of specialties on the labor market does not yet provide young professionals with competitiveness due to the quality of training. Accordingly, the interviewed employers note the need for qualified specialists capable of realizing the organization’s tasks.

The article provides a scientific analysis of the difficult financial situation of the theaters of Uzbekistan in recent years in the post-Soviet space, a sharp decline in the quality of stage performances, staff turnover, as well as changes in the theaters of the republic during the period of perestroika. Although the strategy “Main Directions of Theatrical Development and Reconstruction of Theater Creativity in Uzbekistan” is well thought out, in practice it has undergone critical scrutiny based on the sources from which most theaters operate in the old way. It is scientifically substantiated that radical changes in the theatrical art began to take place only in the period of independence. This process is analyzed on the basis of laws, decrees, decisions taken at the state level

The article is based on the results of the study “Young people in the post-Soviet space: pictures of the world, values, strategies of self-realization”, the empirical basis of which were sociological polls conducted in a comparable manner, conducted in October 2017 – February 2018 among the students from leading universities in Russia and the Republic of Belarus. The analysis of the data was carried out from the point of view of the problem of the internal consolidation of the “Russian world” and the prospects for a change of generations in the elites of the post-Soviet states (in this context, the student contingent of leading Russian and Belarusian universities is viewed as a kind of protoelite group). A comparison was made of the world pictures of Russian and Belarusian students, their social perceptions and value orientations, peculiarities of Russian and Belarusian identity, personal self-actualization strategies, including the choice of place of residence and the level of emigration attitudes. Both similarities and differences in the mentality of young Belarusians and Russians are revealed. In particular, the differences in the perception of the arrow of time, as well as in the emotional relation to the concept of “state”, revealed during the study are of great importance. Based on the results of the analysis, the article shows that the ideas about the life of Russian and Belarusian students are largely similar, but the relations between Russia and Belarus in the picture of the world of Russian and Belarusian youth are asymmetric. The article discusses the possible consequences of the difference between the pictures of the world and the value attitudes of student youth in Russia and Belarus for the fate of the “Russian world”.
