Experts estimate that Russia will face a number of challenges within the next 5–10 years which will significantly change the requirements placed on human capital – the working population, along with its qualifications, skills and professions. How will the role of young people in the digital economy change and what can be done now? What should employers look out for when hiring young people? How can they build teams that are capable of working effectively in this new reality? Trends that are having the greatest impact on the business environment:
The digitalization of the economy The digital economy has been recognized as a key economic development tool in Russia and worldwide. Digitalization could make over 6 million jobs in Russia redundant and cause changes to the requirements and structure of a further 20 million.
The changing demographic profile of the population It is anticipated that the number of young people, who are among the highest contributors to society, will decreased by 29%, and that the proportion of ‘older’ people will grow by 32% (Rosstat)
The growth of global competition for human capital and, as a result, an outflow of professionals away from Russia.

The Russian Federation is now developing business support infrastructure in the technology and innovation sectors: a network of technology parks and business incubators has been created, engineering and prototyping centres are operating, and a network of youth innovation creativity centres is being established in the country’s regions as a basic mechanism to involve young people in the innovation economy. These measures aim to create the conditions in which young people can set up and develop successful innovative companies. Bringing together technological and business skills within innovative project teams is of particular importance. Successful high-tech products can only emerge when engineers and scientists interact closely with professional and competent entrepreneurs, and the key to survival for innovative solutions is to build an effective business plan and marketing strategy. The section for young entrepreneurs will feature project sessions for products being developed by residents of Russia’s youth innovation creativity centres. The purpose of the section is to design effective business plans and development strategies for innovative products from the centres’ residents.

Recent years have seen the ways of organizing work and space that co-working centres have to offer gain increasing popularity in Russia. Co-working centres are characterized by their flexible organization of workspace and their aspirations to form a community of residents and an internal business culture. This format is attracting the interest of the entrepreneurial community, and especially of those entrepreneurs who operate their businesses primarily via the Internet. Platforms like these provide startups with an opportunity to reduce the costs associated with doing business during the most difficult phase – getting their business off the ground. Government co-working centres offer residents not only free and fully equipped workspaces, but also accounting and legal services, regular educational events, and access to project mentoring institutions.
The idea behind government co-working centres is to provide a full spectrum of government support services in the form of a ‘package’ offer to residents. This will make it possible, using a combination of benefits, to encourage businesses to move out of the informal sector of the economy.
Key issues:
• A services-based approach to supporting beginning entrepreneurs
• Programmes for tutoring, mentoring, and accelerating the projects of co-working centre residents
• Cooperation between co-working centre residents and financial and credit organizations
• Prospects for the development of co-working centers in Russia

Entrepreneurs and professionals often encounter difficulties such as:
finding and attracting investment, the wrong choice of goals and strategies, absence of a clear plan and losing focus, poor resource management, lack of awareness of their clients' needs, difficulties scaling their projects, poor use of technology, absence of a global vision, ineffective marketing and PR, limited access to capital, lack of necessary contacts, and many other problems and mistakes which prevent them achieving their desired results and growing their businesses. Our knowledge system is made up of articles, books, courses, and educational programmes. But these do not help individuals to see themselves and their businesses from the outside and to identify the right thing to do in a given situation. Only more experienced mentors and the environment in which an entrepreneur or professional finds themselves can help to diagnose problems.

Only about 6% of the Russian population are entrepreneurs or business owners. Just 2.1% of people between 18 and 64 are interested in running a business, which is considerably lower than the European average of 11.9%.

The changing structure of international labour markets and the shortage of jobs for young professionals in the country’s regions are the key challenges for Russian economic development in the twenty-first century. The pull of major urban metropolises is creating imbalances in the workforce available to their small and medium-sized counterparts, and slowing the diversification of local economies. In these complex and unpredictable times, an increasingly important role is being played by young entrepreneurs, who are flexible, proactive, sensitive to innovation, and ready to change the environment around them. They possess the reserves of energy and time needed to experiment, and are developing new economic sectors based on promising ideas and advanced technologies, and creating local manufacturing industries as they revive and rethink traditional crafts. Their efforts are helpig regions to grow their human capital and establish new city brands, and the structure of international exports is changing in favour of rceative goods and services.

The world is now on the verge of a fourth industrial revolution, set to completely change the way we live, work and communicate. This name has been given to the current era of innovations, where advanced technologies are rapidly and radically transforming entire sectors of the economy.
In shaping this future economy, there will inevitably be great changes for all involved in global politics, from the private to the public sector, as well as changes in the academic world and in society itself. Across the world, young people are the driving force behind innovation; they are the stimulus for putting new initiatives into practice, they contribute new ideas and energy, and they have enormous intellectual potential. The value of youth in the modern world is also rising due to the growing importance of the education and professional skills necessary in the context of a scientific and technological revolution.
Key issues:
• Young people and the fourth industrial revolution
• Focus on digital technologies
• Re-shaping business models
• Employment market management
• How do young people contribute to shaping the economy of the future?
