2. Employment and job creation.
In Russia, many recent graduates are taking any job they can find.
Approximately 30 percent of Russian university graduates under the age of 25 do not have a full-time job. If they do, they've had a rough time getting there.
Anywhere from 65 to 70 percent of graduates are not able to find work directly after graduation, but require, on average, five-to-six months to find a position. Nor is that position protected under Russian labor law. Twenty-five percent of those employed do not have a contract with their employer.
And often, those jobs do not provide enough to survive on. According to a study by the New Economic School in Moscow, more than 50 percent of young academics who work in the Russian public sector have second or even third jobs in order to make ends meet.
3. Higher education.
In Russia it is possible to study at the university for free, if you pass through the competition, and also the education can be paid. To enter a university, you should pass the Unified State Examination and score the required number of points or pass entrance exams.
Sounds good but it’s still very hard to enter a university. There’s a large competition for one place at the university usually, to study for free, students should get really high score at the Unified State Examination. It’s especially hard to enter the university during the periods when the Russian government provides some kind of assistance to other countries and allows free study at Russian universities for foreigners. And a lot of families just can’t pull the amount of money required for paid education.
