Description
Summary:The article discusses the features of the professional dynasties perception by various subgroups of Russian society population. The empirical basis of the analysis is the materials of sociological studies of Russian Center for Research, HeadHunters-company, scientists of Southern Federal University. The results of the surveys show that among Russians the attitude towards professional continuity in the family is not popular, although the phenomenon of professional dynasties is generally assessed positively. Against this background, a subgroup of the population appears in the amount of from a quarter to a one-third of all the respondents who indicate their desire or the desire of their parents to inherit professional status. Most often, they share the attitude towards the continuation of family traditions in the professional sphere by representatives of higher-paid professional groups (lawyers, programmers, representatives of the extraction and processing of raw materials, telecommunications and communications, construction and real estate). Based on the research materials of education and medicine workers, the dependence is confirmed that, with a decrease in status positions and a drop in the profitability of the profession, orientations toward continuing professional continuity in the family decrease.
