The development of a modern economy, in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, is impossible without the accumulation and development of human capital, since the foundation of the transformation of the economic system in an innovative economy is human capital. In this regard, the level of development and the efficiency of using human capital are of paramount importance. This article attempts to assess the role of human capital in the fourth industrial revolution. In the future, human talent will play a much more important role in the production process than capital. However, it will also lead to a greater division of the labor market with a growing gap between low-paid and high-paid jobs, and will contribute to an increase in social tensions. Already today, there is an increase in demand for highly skilled workers, especially in high-income countries, with a decrease in demand for workers with lower skills and lower levels of education. Analysis of labor market trends suggests that the future labor market is a market where there is simultaneously a certain demand for both higher and lower skills and abilities, combined with the devastation of the middle tier. The fourth industrial revolution relies heavily on the concept of human capital and the importance of finding complementarity between human and technology. In assessing the impact of the fourth industrial revolution, the relationship between technology, economic growth and human resources was examined. The analysis was carried out in terms of three concepts of economic growth, technological change and human capital. Human capital contributes to the advancement of new technologies, which makes the concept of human capital an essential factor in technological change. The authors emphasize that the modern economy makes new demands on workers; therefore it is necessary to constantly accumulate human capital, develop it through continuous learning, which will allow the domestic economy to enter the trajectory of sustainable economic growth. The need to create conditions for a comprehensive increase in the level of human capital development is noted.

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of digital transformation on the level of human capital development as a source of ensuring the competitive advantages of an individual in the labor market. A model for the formation of human capital based on the inclusion of digital capital as a leading component that determines the level of its development in a modern economy is proposed. Scientific novelty consists in highlighting the issues of the influence of carriers of digital competencies on the growth of their employment and income. As a general result, the need for the formation of human resources with digital competencies as the basis for the socio-economic stability of society is substantiated.

Market Needs

The labor market in our time is experiencing revolutionary changes. The era of a relatively stable labor market is over. There is no balance of vacancies between the needs of the modern economy and specialists trained by the education system. New technologies lead to the emergence of new professions, new vacancies. And hence the main and paradoxical trend of the modern labor market of new technologies - a lot of “non-specialists” (that is, people who have not received a special education) who create new types of labor activity, and then new professions appear, and as a result, new vacancies, and, again, new "non-specialists" creating new specialties. From the point of view of the structure of modern education, it is ready to solve these problems. But, unfortunately, these education functions are not yet activated. And the labor market needs them more and more. Those. education should teach students to self-seek.

A majority of Mexican and Central Americans living in the United States today are undocumented or living in a marginal, temporary legal status. This article is a comparative analysis of how Mexican and non-Mexican Latino immigrants fare in the U.S. labor market. We show that despite higher levels of human capital and a higher class background among non-Mexican migrants, neither they nor Mexican migrants have fared very well in the United States. Over the past four decades, the real value of their wages has fallen across the board, and both Mexican and non-Mexican migrant workers experience wage penalties because they are in liminal legal categories. With Latinos now composing 17 percent of the U.S. population and 25 percent of births, the precariousness of their labor market position should be a great concern among those attending to the nation’s future.

New challenges of the modern economy and society require changes in russian state program for training managerial human resources. The purpose of the present research is to develop a methodology for monitoring the labor market to assess the training quality of managerial human resources and identify the needs of regions and employers in terms of improving the skills of managers. The research methodology is based on Russian and foreign practices. The empirical basis of the research includes the results of an expert telephone survey of employers who have sent their employees to study under the Program, as well as an online survey of graduates of the Program. The significance of differences in the assessments of competencies required by a contemporary manager between groups of respondents was carried out using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test. The article presents the authorial methodology for monitoring the labor market, according to which a sociological and expert survey was conducted among employers (N1=46) and graduates of the Program (N2=152), representing 32 regions of Russia where the Presidential Program is implemented most actively. The data obtained in the course of the sociological study made it possible to assess the quality of educational programs, the importance of competencies for contemporary executives, and identify several problems in the implementation of the Presidential Program. Despite the high level of quality of training, the level of demand for training under the Presidential Program was quite low. The survey revealed a problem, such as a shortage of managerial human resources with engineering and technical education.

Mexico-U.S. migration has dramatically changed in the past three decades: the pronounced increasing flow of the 1990s stalled in the 2000s and a zero net migration rate was officially reported in 2010. Deportations and economic crisis have been discussed as the underlying reasons of this change. In the context of involuntary movements, I evaluate the labor market incorporation of return migrants with respect to non-movers and internal migrants in Mexico between 2000 and 2010. Using the Mexican Census samples, I found that the reduction on return migrants’ earnings is associated to changes in both, the characteristics of returnees and in the pay rates. Specifically, changes in their occupations and higher participation in informal economy are the most important differences associated to the earnings loss of return migrants. These findings suggest that return migration in involuntary contexts restrict resources that individuals use to incorporate in the job market upon returning.
