HUMAN CAPITAL OF THE REGIONAL SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEM AND ITS STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS
The issues of the formation and development of human capital are becoming increasingly important in the context of an attempt to transition the Russian national economy to an innovative type of development. Increasing labor productivity, developing high-tech production, creating innovative products requires the provision of branches of the national economy with a workforce that has the necessary professional and personal competencies. In turn, social and economic characteristics affect the formation and quality of human capital, while there is a different spatial distribution of this capital within the region. Accordingly, the priorities for the economic and social development of the territories require agreement with the goals of human capital development. The development of approaches to the assessment and measurement of human capital at the regional level is explored in the context of the pronounced differentiation of the economic space within the country. In the work the estimation of human capital is carried out both on the basic quantitative and qualitative characteristics, and on an example of a separate structural element of the socio-economic regional system.
