BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. The transition to a digital economy as a vector for the development of multiple social institutions is forced to shift towards multi-dimensional integration. As a consequence, for a modern university, innovative activities are no less important than educational ones. At the same time, the key resource in the process of generating innovative solutions is the human resource. The multidisciplinary orientation of universities allows combining specialists with unique competencies in a single environment, complementing each other and allowing to achieve a synergistic result, and since innovation invariably implies generation of a certain innovation, it is this property of a university that allows us to talk about the presence of a unique innovative potential – human capitalMETHODS. The article uses methods of system analysis, scientific analogy and abstraction – to study the category "human capital"; methods of grouping and systematisation – when systemising the main classification features of human capital and factors of influence on its development with account of globalisation trends; statistical analysis – to assess the state of development of human capital at university; indicative methods – when diagnosing human capital development in globalisation conditions; graphic methods – to visualise.FINDINGS. The following categories were defined: 1) "human capital" as a complex category, the main component of which is the development of non-standard human thinking, capable of self-organization, renewal, self-perfection and acts as an intellectual, creative factor and a key resource in building a socio-innovative model of economic development; 2) "innovative human capital of the university in conditions of globalization" which is viewed from an integrated approach, with the main emphasis on self-perfection, self-actualization of the human capital of the university; 3) "innovation human capital of the university" which is viewed from an integrated approach.CONCLUSION. The development of human capital as the main condition for the formation of the structure of economy of innovative type, based on information and intellectual production technologies, causes the need to reform and improve the systemic state policy, focused on providing the basic conditions for comprehensive human development. It is the active impact of the state in complex economic conditions to increase the efficiency of human capital development both at the macro level (economy as a whole) and at the micro level (university) that will improve the economic situation in the country and enhance the competitiveness of the national economy in the global world.

This study empirically examine the impact of government expenditure on education on human capital development in Kaduna State over the last 15 years (2000-2015) using econometrics model with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique.The paper test for presence of stationary between the variables using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and autocorrelationusing Durbin Watson statistics. The results reveals all the variables were not stationary in levels except capital expenditure (CE) and Primary schools enrolment (PE) while the rest were stationary at second difference. DW shows presence of serial correlation. The regression results indicated that government expenditure on education have significant impact on human capital development in Kaduna State. It could therefore be recommended that the state government should increase its capital and recurrent expenditure on education, ensure proper management and monitory of funds made for the teachers, constant payment of teachers salaries and allowances in a manner that it will raise the state production capacity.

The purpose of the article is to improve the strategic management of human capital in the context of digitalization. In modern conditions, the development of human potential is closely linked with the spread of digital technologies, which are being implemented and rapidly evolving in all spheres of the economy and society. In this context, the effectiveness of the processes of adaptation and competitiveness of socio-economic systems in the long run depends on the development and implementation of the concept of human capital development which takes into account the impact of digitalization processes on the formation of human capital, as well as on the relevant qualitative characteristics that will best meet the needs of the national economy in the transition to a digital model of governance. Methodology. The article is based on international legal acts, laws and bylaws of Ukraine in this area of legal regulation of human capital in the context of digitalization. Both general scientific and special methodology were used for the research: methods of analysis and synthesis, method of description, method of induction, method of deduction. Results. It is proved that the state policy in the field of human capital development in Ukraine today does not meet the modern challenges associated with the rapid development and spread of digital technologies. The consequences of this are already growing disparities in the labor market, shortage of highly qualified specialists with digital competencies at the appropriate level, growing trends in emigration of intellectual capital and gene pool of the nation abroad, reduction of the "middle class" and intensification of social degradation. Solving these problems requires the development and implementation of a Unified State Strategy for Human Capital Development, which will stimulate its formation, development and effective use in the vector of transition to a new technological system, ensure economic growth and high living standards. To this end, the concept of strategic development of human capital in the context of digitalization is substantiated. It systematizes the goals, principles, strategies and tasks of the state to ensure effective processes of human potential formation and its transformation into human capital in the context of implementing the strategy of sustainable development of the national economy under the influence of digital technologies. Conclusions. The strategy of human capital development in the conditions of digital transformations is substantiated. It is a system of interrelated directions, actions and mechanisms aimed at implementing the concept of formation, motivation and use of human capital, which meets the needs of the economy and society and contributes to the competitive advantage and continuous human development in the long run.

The article shows that the activities of the State in the field of social support and social protection are aimed at addressing the needs of the lower levels of Maslow’s pyramid of motivation: physiological needs, the needs of a safe existence. Currently, we are fighting poverty, while we need to create conditions for the formation of an active life position of citizens, which is aimed at the development of the human capital of the country, on the quality of which the successes of modern society depend. This task is achieved by forming motivations of the highest levels of the pyramid: the need for social contacts, self-affirmation and self-expression. The development of the Concept and Program for Human Capital Development would allow to coordinate and link all activities of a socio-economic nature, both already being implemented in the country and formulated in the Address of the President to the Federal Assembly on January 15, 2020.
