The study of the influence of the Federal laws adopted in Russia on the rate of economic growth made it possible to establish that since 2005, lawmaking has hindered the growth of the Russian economy. In the work, a model of the dependence of the rates of economic growth on the number of employees of state authorities and local self-government obtained. The model shows that the number of employees of state authorities and local self-government determines the rate of economic growth by one third, and the increase in their number causes a decrease in the rate of economic growth. Excessive number of employees of state authorities and local self-government, enforcing these laws, inhibits economic growth. To assess the possibility of increasing human capital due to the functioning of the education system, the value of the «education premium» estimated. The obtained results of the assessment of the «premium for education» indicate that the education system in modern Russia is losing its role as a means of forming human capital. In the period from 2009 to 2019, premiums for secondary vocational, secondary (complete) general and basic general education were completely lost. The premium for higher education has more than halved; by 2027, the premium for higher education for employed workers will also be completely lost. The loss by the institution of education of the role of a means of forming human capital is due to continuous ineffective reforms in education.
