“…This may be explained by the cultural gap between Israel and Ethiopia which is considered much greater than that between Israel and the FSU. Indeed, evidence indicates that the Ethiopians are the least integrated, educationally and economically, of all Israel’s immigrant groups (Semyonov et al, 2007), and from an ethnicity perspective, they represent the greatest cultural distance that exists in Israel (Kalnisky, 2013). Therefore, it is not surprising that the parents of the Ethiopian participants in this study were more affected by immigration.…”

Immigration is a multifaceted process that alters parent-child relationships and impacts immigrant children’s development. However, not much is known regarding the long-term implications of immigration on children when they reach adulthood. This phenomenological study explored the perceptions of parent-child relationships among young adults who immigrated as children to Israel, and the ways such relationships shaped their future parenting perceptions. Twenty-five young adults who immigrated to Israel in middle and late childhood from Ethiopia ( n = 14) and from the former Soviet Union ( n = 11) were interviewed for this study. Analysis indicated that the participants’ experiences of relations with their parents may be organized into three main domains: shifting relations in the context of immigration, relations in the context of long-term adaptation and maturation, and relations in cultural context (e.g., cultural perceptions about family life and culture-related immigration challenges). Participants’ perceptions of their own parenting incorporated culture-specific factors (e.g., family hierarchy and cohesiveness, child-rearing practices, and respect given to parents) as well as difficulties and strengths experienced by the participants’ families during immigration. Although most participants wished to be different from their parents (not wanting their children to work so hard) they hoped to preserve some of their culture of origin’s child-rearing practices. The findings have implications for professionals who work with immigrant families and for policy makers. Considering a family’s specific cultural background and helping parents integrate diverse parental practices may assist immigrant families in coping with challenges of immigration and help young adults who immigrated as children in creating a coherent parenthood.

“…The early 2000s saw significant changes in the status of Ethiopian Jews in Israel. For example, as shown by Kalnisky (2013), governmental programmes in higher education, particularly in teacher education, had a positive influence on the social mobility of young Israelis of Ethiopian descent. In the job market, too, Ethiopians began entering new fields and using their positions to promote the community's status (Lachover, 2022).…”

This article explores the significance of Jewish‐Ethiopian historical narratives for the understanding of Ethiopian Jews' social reality in Israel. It emphasizes how these narratives have been crucial for the ongoing integration efforts of the Jewish Ethiopian community, especially during a period of significant challenges to the established Zionist historical canon. By analysing extensive archival sources, the study uncovers the grassroots emergence of these narratives, shaped by debates surrounding the position of Ethiopian immigrants in Israeli society. It demonstrates that the inclusion of historical perspectives not only strengthened the canonical Zionist historical narrative but also enabled it to withstand unprecedented challenges. This challenges the notion that immigration and social diversification undermine dominant historical canons and national identities. The research underscores the relevance of these historical narratives in revealing the experiences and struggles of Ethiopian Jews and their unique place within Israel's social fabric.

“…Unfortunately, the forces of a graduate, which were used to get an education, often do not bring the expected result. After receiving a diploma of higher education, a graduate has problems finding a job, as a result of which he begins to have doubts about the feasibility of receiving education in the direction that he chose [6,7,8].…”

“…As a result, many employers prefer to accept specialists with work experience, and novice specialists have no chance to find a suitable job. The reality is that only a small part of graduates manage to leave this "vicious circle", and, despite all the difficulties, take a good job in accordance with their education [8,9]. In the situation of a developed business sector in the state economy, the problem of graduates' employment is solved more effectively, because the main one has a high motivation for entrepreneurship.…”

The problem of unemployment among university graduates is a consequence of changes in the structure of production and the economy of Russia, the weakening of state control and regulation. University graduates face a lot of problems when searching for jobs, being insufficiently in demand on the labor market in conditions of low entrepreneurial activity. This problem has socioeconomic nature and is relevant for decades, requiring attention from the state and business communities, as well as the implementation of measures to resolve it and assist university graduates in finding work. The article is analytical and aimed at identifying the main problems of employment of graduates of Russian universities in conditions of low entrepreneurial activity, in particular, in Volgograd and in the Volgograd region. In achieving the goal, these tasks were solved: the main aspects of the employment of university graduates were studied; the main problems of employment of university graduates in conditions of low entrepreneurial activity were identified; the main directions of solving the problems of employment of university graduates on the example of the Volgograd region are proposed. The object of the research is graduates of Russian universities, in particular, universities of the city of Volgograd. The subject of the research is the influence of various factors on the process of employment of university graduates in conditions of low entrepreneurial activity. The results and conclusions are characterized by novelty, scientific and practical importance in terms of solving the problem of employment of university graduates in conditions of low entrepreneurial activity. 1.
