Функционирование системы высшего образования анализируется в контексте взаимосвязей образования, рынка труда и семейных ресурсов, отражающих движение человеческого капитала и нынешние тренды профессиональной мобильности молодёжи в Казахстане. В статье прослеживается, как современная система высшего образования способствует формированию социально-экономических паттернов поведения, включая выбор университета и специальности.

В статье представлены данные исследования, проведённого среди молодёжи с различным уровнем образования и материальным достатком. Выборка составляет 1000 респондентов. Опрос проведён с использованием техники формализованного интервью.

Полученные данные свидетельствуют, что расширение доступности высшего образования в Казахстане сопровождается стратификацией, проекцией которой выступает неравенство на рынке труда для молодёжи с различным «фоном» семейного капитала. Данная тенденция имеет скрытый характер. Ресурсный капитал семьи оказывает влияние на диапазон выбора определённой образовательной траектории (уровень образования, вуз, специальность), в перспективе этот образовательный выбор определяет возможности карьерного роста молодого человека.

The author analyzes how the modern education system contributes to the formation of socio-economically determined choice of higher education, where the latter includes a decision on continue studying, choosing a university and specialty.

The functioning of the higher education system is analyzed in the context of the interconnections of education, the labor market and family resources, which reflect the movement of human capital and current trends in social mobility in Central Asia, as exemplified by Kazakhstan.

The article presents data from a study conducted among young professionals aged 21 to 29 years with a different level of education. The sample represents the Republic of Kazakhstan and amounts to 1000 respondents. The survey was conducted using the technique of personal formalized interviews at the respondents’ work place.

The data obtained indicate that the expansion of accessibility of higher education in Kazakhstan is accompanied by its stratification, which is projected in the inequality in the labor market for young people with a different «background» of family capital. This trend is hidden. The family’s resource capital affects the range of choice of educational trajectory (level of education, university, specialty), in the future, the level of education and prestige of a young specialist’s university determine career opportunities.
