Description
Summary:The article examines the influence of regional conditions on the implementation of the innovative potential of Russian working youth. Industrial regions with a high level of development of high-tech industries, the most promising for the development and implementation of the innovative potential of various social and professional groups, were used as the research space. The selection of regions was carried out on the basis of their position in the ratings of innovative development and on the basis of the type of industrial development: traditional industrial regions with a high level of industrial production, traditional industrial regions with stable de-industrialization processes and new industrial regions with growing high-tech industries. Within each region, high-tech enterprises of the industries that are priority for the development of the respective region were selected. Parameters such as region and industry were used as quota indicators of sociological research. The object of the study was young people under 30 with higher or secondary vocational education. Based on the empirical data obtained in the survey, it was found that working youth in industrial regions is characterized by a certain pragmatism, orientation towards economic indicators and technological development outside of any ideological orientations. The innovative activity of working youth is largely associated with the industry affiliation of the enterprise, partly with the level of development of the region, and the active innovation policy of regional authorities. To a greater extent, the potential of young people, their susceptibility and readiness to innovate depends on their status, on the complexity and diversity of their work functions. An increase in the official and professional status leads to an increase in the innovative resources of a young worker. The highest ratings for opportunities to participate in innovation are shown by technicians and managers.
