| Annotation: | The article is devoted to the study of the human capital characteristics of the Volga Federal District. The paper examines key aspects of the formation and development of human capital in the region, including demographic dynamics, migration processes, and the state of the education and health- care system. A comparative analysis of indicators between the subjects of the Volga Federal District is carried out, which makes it possible to identify regional differences and factors affecting the quality and quantity of human capital. The development of human capital is crucial in the era of dig- italization and is a key task, the implementation of which is neces- sary for the successful development of the regional economy. The study is based on a statistical analysis of official data from Rosstat, reports from the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and sociological research. Such indicators as natural population growth and decline, internal and external migration, the number and composition of the labor force, the level of education of the population, morbid- ity and the main causes of mortality in the regions of the Volga Federal District are considered. Based on the results obtained, the problems and prospects of human capital development in the regions are identified. Special attention is paid to identifying areas that contribute to improving the quality of life of the population and increasing the competitiveness of the Volga Federal District at the federal level. Recommendations on optimizing the state policy in the field of human capital management aimed at improving the social infrastructure and improving the well-being of the district residents are proposed. The work is of interest to a wide range of specialists — econ- omists, sociologists, demographers, and government officials involved in regional development and human capital manage- ment. The study will also be useful for representatives of busi- nesses and non-profit organizations seeking to take into account the social and economic characteristics of regions when plan- ning their activities. The results of the study can serve as a basis for developing strategies for sustainable socio-economic growth in the Volga Federal District and improving the quality of life of its population. | ||
