The acquired results allow making a conclusion on the prevalence of negative impact of the crisis on the social and labor mobility of population of Vladimir Oblast, as well as identifying the age group that suffered the most from the economic downfall. The age range of this population group is fairly wide – from 25 to 55 years old.

The male population demonstrated bigger chances to top up their qualification and get a higher-paid job than the female population or the age group from 25 to 34.

The subject of this article is the educational, spatial and socio-psychological components of adaptation of students with disabilities to the conditions of higher education facilities in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

Using the statistical, sociological and psychological methods, the author determines the peculiarities and problems associated with social adaptation of university students with health limitations and disabilitirs. Based on the data of sociological survey, the authors conclude that overall people with disabilities have low level of professional-qualification status, which results in the fact that they represent one of the most vulnerable social groups at the job market. The psychological tests conducted among the students with disabilities demonstrate that they experience severe barriers and obstacles in the course of their university education.
