Abstract

Purpose. Estimation of the human capital of the Central Federal district regions on the basis of three interrelated criteria: quantitative, qualitative, resulting with subsequent ranking of subjects. Methods. The theoretical basis of the study was the work in the field of human capital theory. Groups of criteria that characterize the dynamics of the development of the regions of the Central Federal district, formed on the basis of official statistical compilations. Methods of economic and statistical analysis were used for calculations. Results. Based on a comprehensive assessment of the size of the human capital of the regions, based on several criteria, the complex indicators are formed to assess the current state of the territories, arrange them, as well as identify problem areas that hinder the socio-economic development of the subjects in terms of the formation and use of human capital. Scientific novelty. The universal tools allowing to estimate size of the human capital of the region on the basis of the available statistical information by estimation of its quantitative indicators, conditions of its reproduction, and also the resulting indicators of development of territories are formed. The conclusion about differentiation of regions by criteria of an assessment of human capital is drawn, and also dynamics for a five-year period is shown.
