Human capital competitiveness management as a resource for sustainable development

Abstract

The gradual transformation of the higher education system that has been observed over the past few decades, especially against the backdrop of the challenges of the 2020 pandemic, has actualized the need to study the causes underlying it. The study of the education industry as one of the elements of the division of labor showed that the main drivers of the process are, on the one hand, the employers' market, which demands from modern workers high adaptability and the ability to switch between spheres of activity, and on the other, the labor market itself, which is subject to deepening automation while maintaining and, in many countries, increasing the proportion of the older population. Intensive global socio-cultural changes are leading to a revision of existing educational systems and their global transformation. Humanity uses education as the main social mechanism to purposefully influence the course of its development. The formation of human capital for sustainable development is one of the priorities of the future, transforming the modern education system, changing its goals, content, forms and methods of teaching.
