The reason for this is the ability to solve the problems of employment at the university directly. Youth Doctoral Education has several other features. The number of doctoral students increased with age - from 25 to 30-34 years. The relationship between teaching at the university and research institutions in favor of SRI - 20-30% and 70-80%, respectively, due to the presence of a large experimental database for writing doctoral theses.
