Experts of the Institute of Statistical Research and Information Economics (ISSEK), National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) studied the level of demand for engineering personnel of Russian enterprises. socialbites.ca was informed about this by the press service of the scientific institution.
As the analysis shows, demand for engineering workers has increased sharply, nearly tripling, over the past decade; It increased from 29.9 thousand in 2010 to 79.8 thousand in 2022.
While the need for highly skilled workers in engineering professions was approximately 2% until 2018, in 2020 it reached 3.3% and by the end of 2022 it reached 4.7%, exceeding the relative need for all highly skilled specialists in general.
According to the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University, the most in demand in Russia today are civil engineering engineers (8.6%), surveyors, surveyors and topographers (7%), urban planners and transport center designers (6.2%) and electronics. engineers (5%), chemical and electrical engineers (4.8%).
According to scientists, in 2022, 71.5% of graduates in 2019-2021 worked in their specialty. Higher education diplomas in engineering, technology and technical sciences.
The most successful among young engineers are shipbuilding and water transport engineering and technology (83.1% of employees in specialties), electrical and thermal energy engineering (78.6%), computer science and computer science (78.1%) They were university graduates from their fields. %), chemical technologies (77.4%), technosphere safety and environmental management (76.9%), applied geology, mining, oil and gas and geodesy (75%).
HSE ISSEK calculated that in 2020, 63 percent of parents wanted their sons to become engineers, and 52 percent wanted their daughters to become engineers. In 2014, these figures were only 34% and 24% respectively.
Previously at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation stated Expansion of targeted training of engineers in universities.
