摘要

This is the presentation of the results of two projects: Monitoring of rates and factors of occupational prestige (2008-2009) and Scientific and methodological principles of tracking the dynamics of occupational prestige of the professions that are in demand in the labor market (2010-2012). The research was devoted to determination of the status level of occupational prestige and the factors it influenced typical for Ukrainians on the background of the world finance-economic crises. udFor cycles of complex representative across-country survey (n=2407, n=2394, n =2480 and n =1270) were conducted during 2008-2010. Also focus-group research with a variety of target audiences directed to discover occupational prestige factors was carried out. Two occupational typologies one based on ISCO-88 and another based on the differentiation of the subjects of professional activity (man-man, man-technology, man-nature, man-symbol, man-artistic image) were implemented for data analyses (n =1251 for adults and n =1250 adolescences). In consequence national standard of occupational prestige was created which was compared with Standard International Occupational Prestige Scale. udFive profiles determine profession as prestigious was created after factor analyses. The most important factor is the idea about high earnings. Women more than men connected occupational prestige with comfortable work conditions, possibilities for rapid career, privileges, glory (fame), stability. Also than higher respondent`s educational level than more important are such factors as opportunity for creative self-realization, solving difficult tasks accessible only for some people. udThe coexistence of the same occupations in different lists of deficit-prestige occupations is explained by both stereotypes of consciousness and stereotypes of economic system as remnants of the socialist way of life. Therefore strategy which include such steps as fixing - cycles, information during the detection of the stereotypes, the new cycle of information in collaboration with the system of vocational training is proposed.
