This paper presents the research on human capital in the global ranking studies and determining the place of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv in them in terms of human capital indicators, in order to increase the efficiency of using human capital and achieve competitiveness in this field. International rankings are an important tool for positioning countries and cities in the international arena and allow an objective assessment of the level of compe­titiveness of Ukraine and, in particular, the city of Kyiv in comparison with other countries and cities of the world. The author analyzes human capital development using global ranking studies such as the Institute for Management Development (IMD) Smart City Index, IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking, and IMD World Talent Ranking. With the help of these studies, the author examines: the ranking position of Kyiv among other cities in the world by the Smart city index; the scores of Kyiv among European cities on the level of IT skills at schools; the accessibility level to go to schools providing high quality education of the vast majority of Kyiv pupils among other European cities; Ukraine's place in the world on the sub-factor "teaching and education" during 2015-2019; Ukraine's place in the world on the criteria of "graduates in the field of ICT, mechanical engineering, mathematics and natural sciences" during 2018-2019; as well as Ukraine's place in the world on the sub-factor "concentration of science" during 2015-2019. To assess the development, involvement, and retention of highly qualified specialists in Ukraine, Ukraine's ratings were monitored for the following factors: investment and development (the amount of allocated resources for the cultivation of its own human capital), attractiveness (the degree of involvement of local and foreign talents) and readiness (the quality of skills and competencies available to the country) during 2011-2019. The research makes leads to the following conclusions: the competitive advantages of human capital development in Ukraine include the amount of resources allocated for the cultivation of its own human capital; the level of education and training in Ukraine in general and the city of Kyiv in particular, as well as the productivity of R&D in publications; the competitive weaknesses include the lack of a motivational component, as well as the recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel, and, as a result, a significant level of "brain drain" abroad. In order to use human capital effectively, Ukraine should attract highly qualified workers to the R&D field as soon as possible. It is extremely important and, unfortunately, almost underdeveloped in Ukraine to motivate their activities, borrowing the experience of developed countries. In this case, the country will get rid of such a significant level of outflow of qualified personnel abroad, will concentrate more quickly on the production of science-intensive high-tech products, and will become competitive in the field of human capital and high technologies.

In a review article on several publications in the journal Kant, studies were selected that are directly or indirectly interconnected with each other. 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.

This chapter focuses on the drivers of human capital development in the fourth industrial revolution by examining the role of women. It discusses the role of women in economic development since 570BC. Women are ignored in most important areas in society whereas men are found at the frontline. However, available empirical analyses suggest that when women are empowered, they are able to turn the tables in their favour. The chapter outlines development role played by selected women across time and uses data from studies to show poor representation of women on international bodies and parliamentary seats. Selected women that have led and continue to lead various countries all over the world are presented. This chapter argues that women are important stakeholders in economic freedom. The chapter suggests encouraging society and men in particular to help women become front line participants in the human capital development for the fourth industrial revolution.

Nigeria has made frantic efforts towards achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) as spelt out in the United Nations’ Agenda for the world. A critical assessment of the e-Government strategies in Nigeria is important being responsible for 20% of the population of the entire African continent. This paper presents a review of the e-Government strategies in Nigeria; the human capital development initiatives; the information and communications technology (ICT) diffusion and e-Inclusion. The global and continental ranking of the country is presented as well as recommendations to accelerate developments towards achieving the MDGs. Findings revealed that there are ongoing efforts in Nigeria to address the issue of poverty. The various initiatives of government include: the National/State Economic Empowerment Strategies (NEEDS/SEEDS), the Vision 2020, the National e-Government Strategy (NeGST) and a well-formulated National IT policy to mention a few. The little hindrance encountered in the research is that the available data was only up to the year 2005 and 2006 in some cases. However, based on the human capital development indices such as: economic empowerment and poverty reduction, education, health, employment generation, etc, it was observed that the adult literacy level of 64.2% is satisfactory and better results are expected before 2015. The life expectancy level is constant (54 years) from 2002 to 2007, which is the one of the lowest in Africa. On school enrolment, the major problem is access and poverty. It was observed that only 25% of primary school leavers made it to the secondary school level, while about 14% of the students at this level made it to the tertiary level. Similarly, the average percentage of female enrolment in schools is 45%. The health facilities are under-funded and are grossly inadequate both in quality and quantity. There is an average of 1,700 persons per hospital bed and the ratio of physicians to the populace is about 1:6000. This calls for a state of emergency in this sector. One major sector of the economy that is experiencing a boost is the ICT and Telecoms. The sector had brought about a teledensity growth of 0.73 to 37.05 from 2001 to 2007. Consequently, Nigeria has been named the fastest growing Telecoms nation in Africa and the third in the world, with a number of direct and indirect jobs created. Similarly, the rate of Internet diffusion is encouraging bearing in mind that the level was almost nonexistent in 1999. It is obvious that Nigeria would be able to bridge the divide by 2015. Generally, there are some meaningful developments in the country arising from the various poverty eradication schemes but the resultant effect has not imparted positively on unemployment. This is the opinion of the populace and hence the need for government to restrategize, otherwise, fulfilling MDGs by 2015 may not be realistic.

The article deals with the issues of socialization of human capital development. The emphasis is placed on the fact that modern globalization puts forward new demands on the person from the point of view of its educational level, acquired competences, mobility, since the "human factor" is a key element of a new model of post-industrial development. Accents are shifted from "economic rights" to "social rights". In the conditions of globalization of national economies, the key factor in the economic growth of any country is the formation of a highly developed and competitive human capital. Unlike other types of resources, human creative abilities are the core of the innovative potential of the individual and are inexhaustible in nature. The problem under investigation is particularly popular for Ukraine in view of the current geopolitical and socio-economic transformation. In the article the modern specificity of development of human capital in the conditions of economic socialization and under the influence of global tendencies is considered. The main quantitative indicators of human capital development, changes in the structure of employment, the level of state support of the educational sphere and scientific researches are analyzed, and their trend models are constructed. The place of Ukraine according to the indicator of human development index among other countries of the world is determined. The SWOT analysis of the educational system of Ukraine is provided, which gives an opportunity to assess the existing situation and the prospects for its improvement. The mechanism of the influence of socialization on the formation of qualitative human capital is formed and graphically reflected. The basic problems of reproduction of human capital are determined and a set of measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of its use and development is proposed, among which: development of an innovative model of the state policy of development of human capital; involvement of the private sector in the process of investing in human development; optimization of the mechanism of distribution of public funds allocated to education; increasing the accessibility and adaptation of educational services in accordance with market requirements; the inclusion in international programs of quality assessment and competitiveness of human capital, etc.

International city cooperation of sister city partnerships has become one of the important strategies to improve urban competitiveness, promote city development and urban development, as well as to create partnerships that can promote city agendas. Cities across the world have implemented or are implementing the concept of twinning, in which one urban local authority can partner with other local authorities in the world. Several studies have been done on international city cooperation especially in the European context. However, there is a paucity of knowledge on city twinning in Zimbabwe. This chapter seeks to examine the implications on local government operations through the twinning concept, using Harare and Munich as units of analysis. Overall, Harare has since twinned with Munich, in which the two cities cooperate in the areas of human capital development, capacity building, and information technology for cities. This development has seen Harare registering some improvements in terms of local government operations.
