- Abstract
The development of digital economy led to qualitative changes in the management of human capital. These changes in the last decade are in the focus of theoretical and practical research, which led to the formation of a new socio-economic paradigm. The subject of the study is human capital in a digitalized economy. The purpose of the work is the consideration of key problems for the development of human capital in the context of the digitalization of the economy. As a result of the research, the following tasks were solved: the essence of the digitalization of the economy was considered and disclosed. The main development problems are identified and social risks of human capital development are formulated in the context of the digitalization of the economy. Human capital is presented as the most important tool to increase the welfare and competitiveness of an individual and society as a whole, since today the country’s welfare is growing primarily in terms of intellectual potential. Instead of quantitative characteristics, qualitative ones come to the fore, which allows increasing labor productivity and increasing the return on expended resources. As a result, the concept of human capital becomes a key to achieving the main goal – to create a knowledge economy, an information society, and increase competitiveness in the context of globalization. Despite all the visible advantages, digital transformation can exacerbate the existing inequality, in particular between people with high and low qualifications, large and small firms, as well as urban and rural regions. To mitigate the negative effects, the key factor contributing to the rational distribution of the potential benefits of transformation within the economy and society is a competent state policy. One of the ways to maintain the quality of human capital at a competitive level is a system of additional professional education, built into the logic of transformation of human society on the principles of humanism.
