Introduction. In the past, the wealth of a country was measured in gold and silver. Later, wealth started including means of production. Nowadays, the national wealth of a country includes three main components: natural capital, productive assets and human resources. The purpose of this paper is to highlight historical aspects of assessing the wealth of countries, identify its most important components in the modern world, and analyze of the interests of young people in Ukraine in learning. Results. The concept and composition of national wealth has undergone revision and transformation from the 18th century to the present day. Over time, in addition to gold, silver and means of production, human capital was added to its composition. Rich countries have a high share of produced and intangible assets compared to natural resources. The features of capital that are relevant to human capital, in contrast to human potential, are the ability to accumulate and generate income. For the emergence, as well as the productive functioning of human capital, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions. It is important to achieve a certain standard of living, have support of the state and non-state institutions, make available of modern and progressive knowledge and its effective transfer to the object of educational process, and create conditions for the preservation and development of human capital. Low wages in Ukraine are a primary cause of poverty. Since most European countries have a better standard of living and quality of life, many Ukrainians consider migration to be the only and the most reliable way to improve their lives. During 2015–2019, the share of young people who do not work, study or acquire professional skills amounted to about one sixth of the population aged 15–24. Conclusion. Lack of education and/or high skills of a worker does not affect the level of wages in the cross-country comparison, thus Ukrainian youth loses motivation to learn. The territorial proximity of some regions of our country to Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania and higher wages there create favorable conditions for labor migration of young people. This situation stresses the need for appropriate measures at the state level.

The article is devoted to the study of the content of the category "human potential" and the basics of its management. According to the results of the study, it was found that the socio-economic conditions of the state directly affect the quality of human potential formation at all levels. In addition, the process of formation of the human potential of the region must be the basis for the formation of such a potential at all levels. Qualitative formation of human potential will directly affect not only the formation of other potentials of economic systems, but also the total human capital of the state as one of the most important components of national wealth.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to clarify the various approaches to the interpretation of the essence and significance of human capital for the development of a modern theoretical basis for human capital development in the economy. Methodology of research. The theoretical and methodological bases of the study are the fundamental provisions of modern economic theory, research of domestic and foreign scientists. Systemic, process, historical and logical approaches were used to achieve the goal and defined tasks. General scientific methods were used in the process of research: comparison – in determining the differences in the interpretation of the essence of human capital by different scientists; analysis – in determining the quantitative and qualitative parameters of human capital; synthesis – in determining the components of the structure of human capital, which are the objects of management and measurement and the system of indicators, which are the objects of management of its structure; induction and deduction – in determining approaches to the essence of human capital and aspecting the components of the structure of human capital. Also special methods of economic research were used: grouping – in determining aspects of the components of the structure of human capital and their effectiveness, indicators of human capital; tabular and graphic – when systematizing the components of the structure and indicators of human capital, aspectization of human capital; analysis at the macroeconomic level - in determining trends in the concept of human capital. Findings. As a result of studying of human capital it is established that: human capital is the ability to bring benefits (correlated with the concept of "labour"); human capital is a stock (correlated with the concept of "asset" which is temporarily not used); human capital is a resource (correlated with the concept of "asset" which is used); human capital is a potential (correlated with the concept of "asset" which can be used to a limited extent based on the used set of potential capacity or sources of potential capacity); human capital is a source of income (correlated with the amount of income); human capital is a special form of capital (acts in the form of interaction of needs and abilities of the subject); human capital is a form of realization of economic relations. Originality. Theoretical provisions on the essence of human capital as an economic category were clarified, in which human capital is the carrier of systemic relations of the reproductive process of society Namely, system-component approach in the interpretation of the "human capital" term was substantiated, which, in contrast to the existing approach, defines the composition and aspects of component structure of human capital, which reveals the internal organization of human capital and the relationship of its constituent components, i.e. those that were obtained biologically, those that were obtained in society, those that formed the carrier of human capital as the main element of the productive forces. Practical value. The practical significance lies in increased scientific reasoning of theoretical provisions and practical measures to ensure the mechanism of state regulation of the reproduction of human capital in accordance with the transformational changes in social relations and market conditions, as well as globalization processes. The author's proposals can be used by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, in developing strategies and concepts of social development of countries, or by the Ministry of Economics, in developing economic and social development projects of Ukraine, educational process of higher education institutions of Ukraine. Key words: capital, human capital, human potential, theory of human capital, concept of human capital, system approach, structural and functional approach, management approach, components of human capital structure, aspectization.

In his article Child movement in Russia as an instrument of modern human capital development the author puts forward the problem of underestimating and even complete ignoring children community unions while handling the task of preparing effective human potential for Russian regions. According to author the State as the customer of human capital and the children movement as a potential contract accepter at key stages of forming required values, competencies and traits, have not yet built regular “business” relationship: they have not defined exact goals of educational process according to current labour market demands, and have not drawn ”game rules” for educators market. Fineness of the publication is due to the fact that many advocates of pushing global human and Russian traditional spiritual values into education do not see themselves as professionals responsible for forming competencies for success at modern labour markets as well. Even the terms human capital, educators market, personal development program are strongly confronted by many teachers. But it is impossible not to talk about that. Especially after publishing State strategy of pedagogy in Russian Federation up to 2025 and its stating the task of forming national pedagogical ideal.

Problem and relevance. The urban system of additional education can objectively be a key factor in the formation of human potential among students of a particular city. But to do this, it is necessary to define specific didactic forms and management models that organize educational activities in the logic of increasing human capital. The purpose of the article: to determine the content-didactic and management tools, in which the sphere of additional education in a modern Russian city will become a factor in the development of human capital and potential. Methodology: application of the key provisions of the cultural and historical approach (L. S. Vygotsky, B. D. Elkonin) and the system–based approach (G. P. Shchedrovitsky, P. G. Shchedrovitsky, Yu. V. Gromyko) to the construction of a model of additional city education as a tool for the development of human capital and potential. Research result: – the mechanisms of influence of the general socio-cultural system of the city on the sphere of additional education are determined; – identified those components of the urban socio-cultural environment that are formed by the sphere of additional education; – content-didactic and managerial tools are described, due to which the urban sphere of additional education becomes a tool for the development of human potential. Conclusion: in order for the urban system of additional education to become a factor of human capital and potential development, it is necessary to use students ‘ solution of open educational tasks in an open situation and forms of independent construction of life strategies as content–didactic tools. As management tools, it is necessary to implement systems of multi–position network interaction of participants in the educational process, competitive selection of educational programs, events and platforms for the development of relevant pedagogical competencies among participants in the educational process.

AbstractThe main attributes of an organizations are characterized as open and dynamic social systems, able to develop individually. In essence, an organization is a social system with human capacity, beyond the means of production, essential to the formation, operation and development of an organization. Interactions between people and the connections between them are important in achieving the goal of the organization. The objectives of the organization must coincide with the goals of the organization’s leadership and meet the needs of those involved in the production system, so the level of connection between human capital and resources is essential. Human capital is the most important factor for the organization, it represents the accumulation of professional skills, combined with the creativity and initiative of each person, together generating essential resources to the organization and producing services and materials meant to generate profit. Each organization invests in forming and developing the human capital in order to create specialists in the industrial branches that the organization develops. Satisfaction with the basic needs of employees is an essential factor in the organization’s development. If this is not the case, the human capital can be destabilized slightly and can cause the state of crisis. Defeating human primordial needs can lead to an increase in the state of crisis of the organization, thus being able to evolve until the collapse of the organization.Human capital, in the event of a crisis, regardless of its nature, is the most important factor. The human factor decides how the crisis will be perceived and the means used to end the crisis.Knowing the human capital, the needs and especially the abilities of each employee can help the organization overcome a crisis moment easily and can solve an emergency without involving all the factors at its disposal.

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 essence of sustainable development is that the progress of the current generation does not go against the interests of future generations. In the classical definition, the balance between generations is understood as the balance of needs. However, the word “needs” can be interpreted differently. First, we can talk about the ability to meet the needs in the context of the availability of natural resources. This means that we must leave to future generations the same amount of resources that we have, so that they can meet their needs with these resources. Secondly, we can talk about the ability to meet the needs as a standard of living. This means that for future generations it should be at least the same as the standard of living of our generation. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary that this be achieved due to the availability of natural resources. For example, we can now invest some resources in the development of human capital and knowledge, and future generations will provide a higher standard of living through the growth of knowledge. Consequently, the factor of human capital, determining the pace of introduction of innovative technologies and moving away from resource-intensive industries, will determine sustainable development in the process of transition to a post-industrial economy.
