Abstract: The article presents the results of a sociological study, the subject of which is the migration intentions of modern students. The empirical object of the study was students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation studying at undergraduate educational programs. The choice of the research subject is not accidental. On the one hand, studies of the last ten years show a fairly high level of migration intentions of students who are ready to migrate both within the country and abroad for educational or career purposes. On the other hand, there have been changes in the socio-economic situation, which can also affect the migration mood of young people, for example, an increase in demand for labor can give new career opportunities within the country. The study of migration intentions in the context of ongoing socio-economic changes, as well as the analysis of factors affecting students' migration intentions, seem extremely relevant from the point of view of training qualified personnel and providing the national economy with labor. The sociological study included two stages. At the first stage, a quantitative study was conducted, 400 respondents from among the students of the Financial University were interviewed. At the second stage of the study, 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with graduate students. The results obtained during the sociological research allow us to conclude that there have been no significant changes in the migration intentions of students, despite changes in the socio-economic situation. Continuing education and/or employment are still the main migration goals. It is important to note that the main influence on migration intentions is provided by subjective factors and the life context: income level, family relationships, the presence of social ties both within the country and abroad. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the study of students' migration intentions in the context of ongoing socio-economic changes, as well as in the use of a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, which allows a deeper understanding of the ongoing social processes.

Abstract: This article presents the results of a sociological study, the subject of which is the process of young teachers starting their professional activity in the context of changing conditions. The purpose of the research is to study how young teachers evaluate the teachers' profession and see their future in the context of ongoing changes. The results obtained during the study include: the impact assessment of the education on the process of entering the profession and the choice of secondary employment; identifying the characteristics of the social interaction of a young teacher with students and their parents, in the context of changes occurring in the profession; proposals for the development of a professional group of teachers; identifying gaps between the professional expectations of young teachers and actual professional activities.
The method of this study is interviewing young teachers working in schools in the Moscow region. A total of 64 in-depth telephone interviews were conducted.
The novelty of the research lies in the study of the complex social phenomenon of entry and retention of young teachers in schools in the context of the profession’s changes, as well as an acute shortage of teaching staff.
Scope of application of the results: the results of the study can become an information base for updating educational programs of universities, creating mechanisms for solving problems of shortage of teaching staff at the regional level, developing the professional community and preserving the teaching profession.
The main conclusion of the study is that preserving the teaching profession and teachers in the profession involves abandoning a narrow understanding of rationality based on an economic approach and focusing on the value of teaching work as such.
