Of particular importance is human capital, the management of which should take into account the behavioral characteristics of various population groups. Objectives: to develop and test a methodology for assessing regional human capital, based on the identification of stages in the life cycle of an individual, each of which has its own “investment profile” with a dominant investment actor. Methods: data of the labor force in the Republic of Karelia, with the sample size of 7486 respondents. Primary exploratory data analysis and economic and mathematical (cluster) analysis were carried out, on the basis of which a typology of the investment behavior of the population in the labor market was developed. Results: the task of constructing a regional human capital model was implemented. The type-forming basis of this model is a variety of human capi tal investment strategies. The authors proved that the investment behavior of an individual is determined by his primary and secondary social environment that acts as an investment actor. The operationalization of investment strategies is carried out through two groups of indicators – socio-demographic and economic activity of the region’s population. Conclusions: the regional human capital model can become an analytical tool for analyzing and monitoring regional inequality, identifying areas of the greatest socio-economic disadvantage, and finding effective tools to overcome the destructive processes in territorial development of the Russian Federation.
