CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF HUMAN CAPITAL RESEARCH
Downloads
Objective: This paper explores the conceptual roots of human capital and its significance in creating innovative economic development. Its goal is to systematize theoretical approaches in relation to human capital formation, its structural components, and evaluate its impact on innovative processes as well as long-term economic growth (C2.17)*. Method: The study is theoretical and analytical, based on the synthesis of scientific literature, policy documents and comparative international practice. Result: These results illustrate that human capital is a strategic resource affecting the economy's ability to create, institute and disseminate innovations. Efficiency of human capital is determined not just from quantitative measures that consist of education level, also qualitatively factors like institutional cohesion and the tendency to engage between calif universities, industry by degree sector. It shows that human beings' potential for productivity is still a function of regional gaps, limitations of measurement and institutional weaknesses. Novelty: The authors conclude that for sustainable innovative development, it is crucial to develop encompassing policies aimed at the improvement of education quality, strengthening research capacity, raising professional competence and systemic coordination in the field of national innovations. Human capital is also viewed as an important driver of structural transformation, competitiveness and sustainable socio-economic development.
