Relevant Factors

The national economy is as competitive as its human capital is effectively capitalized in modern hypercompetitive global markets. The world digital technologies contribute to the globalization of the economy and accelerate the accumulation of human capital by digitizing jobs, providing the population and households with electronic services and data mining technologies. The article analyzes the structure of multivariate data on the factors of human capital development, e-education and the use of ICT by households in Russian regions. The average annual values of the relevant factors of monitoring the development of the information society in the Russian Federation for the period from 2010 to 2017 were selected as factors of each object of analysis. The reliability of the research results is ensured by applying standardization and rationing of the initial matrix of factors, reducing the dimension of the normalized matrix of factors using the PCA method, cluster analysis using the method of EM-maximizing expectations and the hierarchical clustering method. The author has built a rating of regional clusters of the Russian Federation, differing in the quality of human capital depending on the development of electronic infrastructure, availability of digital resources and the features of the social environment.

They are connected by the consideration of issues related to the development of human capital, since at present the study of problems concerning the condition and development of not only the whole society, but specifically each person is more and more popularizing in the world scientific community. The combination of economic and social problems associated with assessing the level of development of human capital is identical across all countries. In this regard, domestic researchers conduct a multivariate analysis of the state of affairs on the development of human capital in the Russian Federation.

Purpose From an institutional theory perspective, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the combined impact of financial capital (microcredit) and human capital development (entrepreneurship training) delivered by financial non-governmental organisations (FNGOs) on the performance of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Adopting a multiple linear regression analysis, the study used primary data collected from 506 Ghanaian MSEs. Microcredit was measured using four main constructs, namely, loan cost, loan amount, the flexibility of loan repayment and loan accessibility. Entrepreneurship training was measured using four main constructs, namely, training content, training efficiency, training frequency and training accessibility. MSE performance was also measured using three main indicators, namely, sales, employment and profitability growth. The study controlled for business age, industry category, manager’s educational level and gender. Findings The results of this study show that the combined delivery of financial and human capital development by FNGOs has a significant impact on MSE performance. The social welfare logic adopted by FNGOs seems to be legitimate to the needs and growth of MSEs in Ghana. However, the cost of microcredit remains a drawback, constraining the performance of MSEs in Ghana. Research limitations/implications This study was carried out in the Volta Region, which is one of the ten regions of Ghana. Even though the sample size suffices, the findings from this study could not be generalised to the whole of Ghana. Also, this study is a quantitative study and could benefit from a triangulated method where the qualitative inputs could offer insights into the findings in this study. Originality/value Theoretically, this study contributes to the understanding of institutions and the type of impact they have on the growth of MSEs. Practically, the provision of a conducive environment and access to financial capital is crucial to the growth of MSEs. Also, the adoption of the social welfare logic in microfinance delivery could be one of the major steps in promoting the performance of MSEs in Ghana.

AbstractDespite Indonesia’s impressive economic growth, it still lags behind other countries with a similar income level in terms of the quality of its human capital. This paper argues that one key factor explaining this low quality of human capital relates to the lack of focus and clear strategies to develop its education system. This paper attempts to assess Indonesia’s current state of human capital development with particular focus on its education sector. In order to benefit from its demographic bonus, Indonesia needs to to improve its current education and skill training system. Better education and skill training system will support the country’s effort to reduce poverty and youth unemployment. The effectiveness of public spending in education should be improved to raise the quality of education. Indonesia needs to integrate its human capital development plan with its economic master plan.Keywords: Human Capital; Poverty; Unemployment; Education; DevelopmentAbstrakMeskipun mencatatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang mengagumkan, kualitas sumber daya manusia Indonesia masih tertinggal dibandingkan negara lain dengan tingkat penghasilan setara. Tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa faktor kunci yang menjelaskan rendahnya kualitas sumber daya manusia berhubungan dengan ketiadaan strategi yang terfokus dan jelas untuk mengembangkan sistem pendidikan Indonesia. Tulisan ini menilai kondisi kekinian dari pengembangan sumber daya manusia Indonesia dengan fokus khusus pada sektor pendidikan. Agar dapat mengoptimalkan manfaat dari bonus demografi, Indonesia perlu membenahi sistem pendidikan dan pelatihan keterampilan. Sistem pendidikan dan pelatihan keterampilan yang lebih baik akan menunjang upaya pengentasan kemiskinan dan pengurangan pengangguran muda. Efektivitas pengeluaran pemerintah di sektor pendidikan perlu ditingkatkan guna meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan. Indonesia perlu mengintegrasikan rencana pembangunan sumber daya manusia dengan master plan perekonomian.Kata kunci: Sumber Daya Manusia; Kemiskinan; Pengangguran; Pendidikan; PembangunanJEL classifications: I25; O15

The subject of the research is the goals and targets of the Demography national project and related national and federal projects aiming to resolve the problems of the socio-demographic development of Russia, primarily, elimination or at least reduction of poverty of a significant part of the country’s population. The purposes of the research were to identify and substantiate ways to solve socio-demographic problems defined in the national project, and estimate the scope of its financing planned by the Russian Federation Government. The paper proves that until now the lack of sufficient livelihood is monitored in Russia only by the absolute income poverty index, which makes it impossible to compare the poverty dynamics correctly in both time and space. The paper focuses on national projects aimed at increasing the human capital based on long-term forecasts of indicators to be achieved. It might happen that the planned significant contribution of the Russian Federation regions to the Healthcare national project will hamper the effective implementation of the Demography national project due to the lack of regional funds. It is proposed that reports on poverty reduction are submitted annually to the UNICEF to inform this international organization on measures taken to achieve the goal of twofold poverty reduction, particularly measures to ensure safe, healthy and happy childhood, in order to be aware of the poverty reduction progress. The issue of increasing life expectancy cannot be solved without taking measures specific for the male and female population. Therefore, the target statistics indicator ignoring the gender differences cannot be correct in respect of the entire population. It is concluded that if the national projects aimed at the human capital development have been implemented successfully the Russian socio-demographic policy will contribute to the growth of the economy.

Independent Assessment

The relevance of an independent assessment of the quality of the conditions for the delivery of services (IAQ) as a tool for assessing the state of the social sphere is determined by the ability to use it to identify the expectations of a modern consumer, his needs, to detail shortcomings in the delivery of services and develop measures to eliminate them. Independent assessment acts as a form of public control, contributing to the development of civil society, allowing to eliminate problems and improve the system of providing services in the social sphere. The aim of the study is to consider the potential of using IAQ in solving problems of public administration. The research methods used in the work serve as a significant empirical base based on the results of monitoring studies of the implementation of IAQ in the regions of the Russian Federation based on surveys of government representatives and citizens who receive services, as well as on the basis of information provided on the official website for posting information about state (municipal) institutions bus.gov.ru, and have a formal and logical component in terms of conducting a comparative analysis of regulatory sources, using analytical methods of functional and statistical analysis. The choice of research tools was determined by the presence in the current database of the functioning of the IAQ from the moment of its creation in 2013 to the present. The analysis of the results of an independent quality assessment made it possible to identify key shortcomings in the social sphere, the structure of problems that are most often found in the regions and their relationship with the main directions of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the study, the hypothesis was confirmed that the incorporation of an independent assessment into the system of executive authorities, which allows to quickly obtain objective data on the state of the social sphere, makes it possible to put its results into practice aiming to analyze the achievement of national goals and ensuring the socio-economic development of Russia. The use of the results of the IAQ to increase the validity and efficiency of management decisions to improve the activities of public organizations for officials of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and representatives of public organizations responsible for their development, allows for a comprehensive impact on improving the quality of life of the population.
