Sociological study of adaptation of young specialists from single-parent and complete families to the professional environment

in today's rapidly changing world, successful adaptation of young specialists to the professional environment is a key factor in their career growth and personal well-being. However, the process of adaptation of young people may differ depending on various aspects of their life experience, including the type of their family environment. The purpose of the work is to analyze and compare the process of adaptation of young specialists from complete and single-parent families to the professional environment. To achieve this goal, a sociological study was conducted with the participation of 132 working students, aimed at analyzing the process of adaptation of young specialists to the professional environment depending on the type of their family environment. The participants were equally divided between students from complete and single-parent families – 66 people each. Data collection methods included questionnaires for students and their employers, as well as interviews. The analysis showed that young professionals from single-parent families experience higher levels of stress and have less social support compared to those who grew up in complete families. In addition, participants from complete families demonstrate higher rates of professional achievement and effective strategies for coping with stress. However, young people from single-parent families also demonstrate significant independence and the ability to self-develop. Based on the data obtained, practical recommendations for both employers and educational institutions are proposed for more effective support and professional adaptation of students of any type of family environment.
