Abstract
Demographic aspects of the development of human capital in Russia and its regions
Highlights
The world today, especially in its more economically developed zones, is undergoing a transition towards a new phase of social development, one in which economic relations are largely determined by the qualitative characteristics of the population
It is interesting to emphasize that Moscow, which constantly tops the ranking of the Human Development Index (HDI for 2010 was rated 0.931, while the human development index (HDI) in the Belgorod region standing on the 5th position was only 0.866; in the Sverdlovsk region (12th position) — 0.842, in Khabarovsk Territory (39th position) — 0.816, in Altai Territory (56th position) — 0.805, in the Republic of Ingushetia (71th position) — 0.790, in Republic of Tuva — 0.750), Moscow, as well as a number of others stand in the top ten regions in HDI, according to the quality population index was only in the middle of the regional ranking due to the very low indicators of fertility and marriage
An important component of human capital development in Russia and its regions is the migration of the population, which in terms of global development acts as an engine of technological progress, the most important factor in the development of humanity as a whole
Summary
The negative qualitative changes in the population, which essentially began during the second half of the 1980s and have increased in present-day Russia, prevent the development of human capital in the country. This being the case, the authors give their own interpretation of the concept of “human capital”. The authors arrive at the conclusion that it is impossible at the present stage to develop human capital without first solving the demographic problems. This is especially true for some regions of Russia.
