Abstract

The article states that the relocation of some industrial branches from Europe and the USA to developing countries in the 70s-80s of the 20th century, as well as the increasing number of jobs in the service sector, were accompanied by educational reforms and a change of life attitudes among young people. All this led, among other things, to a shortage of engineering and technical personnel which is observed today in many developed countries, including Russia. The author suggests a number of measures aimed at eliminating this shortcoming.

Keywords
