Title: Changes in Nine-grade School Leavers’ Educational Trajectory Preferences
Title: Тенденции изменения выбора образовательной траектории выпускников девятых классов 
Abstract: Research carried out by the Center for Economics of Continuous Education of the Institute of Applied Economic Studies, RANEPA has revealed that the share of nine-graders who leave school after passing a basic state exam (BSE) varies from 40% to 55% depending on a subject of the Russian Federation. Most school leavers are enrolled in secondary vocational education institutions (SVEI), but a certain portion of nine-graders stop studying at educational institutions (EI) of their regions with some school leavers moving to other regions to enter vocational training institutions. At the same time, plenty of nine-graders do not continue their studies, but start working, particularly, in the informal economy and there are also some who neither study, nor work.
