Abstract

This paper offers the author's methodological scheme for studying the professionalization and deprofessionalization of Russian youth. Its necessity is caused by changes in the sphere of professional and labor relations and strategies for professionalization of young people in the mobile world, high dynamics of destructive phenomena in the field of professional formation and development of Russian youth, as well as the lack of an explanatory research model that is adequate to the changed reality. The proposed methodological matrix is based on the provisions of the socio-reproductive approach, professionalization theory, activity approach and neoinstitutional theory. Within its borders, professionalization and deprofessionalization are two interrelated processes that, in modern conditions of development of the labor market and the professional sphere, often appear in a rotating sequence. Deprofessionalization within the framework of the proposed concept and methodological scheme does not have a clearly negative semantic load, since in a certain situation this process can become the basis for secondary professionalization in an effective format. This will depend on a number of objective and subjective factors, but, first of all, following the methodological logic of the "path dependency" theory, on the choice of a professional track (traditional or modernist type).
