АНАЛИЗ РАССОГЛАСОВАНИЯ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И ЗАНЯТОСТИ МОЛОДЫХ КАДРОВ В КЫРГЫЗСТАНЕ

Abstract

Кыргызстан имеет достаточно высокий уровень доступа к образованию, школьному и
высшему. За последние 25 лет наблюдается стремительный рост количества высших
учебных заведений. Тем не менее увеличение количества высших учебных заведений не
обеспечивает потребности в квалифицированной рабочей силе на рынке труда. Целью
данного исследования является выявление несоответствия уровня образовательных услуг
запросам рынка труда. В анализе использованы перекрестные (анкетные) данные
Международной организации труда за 2013 г., собранные для анализа проблемы перехода
молодежи Кыргызстана от образования к занятости.
