Human capital development in the context of demographic changes and digitalization of the economy

Keywords: human capital, demographic changes, economic digitalization, population aging, digital competencies, demographic burden

Abstract

Purpose: Theoretical substantiation, development of methodological principles and scientific-practical recommendations for the formation of a human capital development system under demographic changes and digitalization of the economy.

Method: a systematic approach, econometric modeling, comparative analysis, statistical analysis.

Practical value of the research: A methodological approach has been developed to assess the impact of demographic changes on human capital formation, which takes into account the relationship between population age structure and labor productivity in the digital economy. A mechanism for optimizing investments in human capital development and scientific-practical recommendations for adapting the education system to the requirements of the digital economy, considering the characteristics of different age groups, has been proposed.

Value of the research: Enhanced understanding of interaction mechanisms between demographic and technological factors of human capital development, advanced methodological tools for assessing the impact of demographic changes, and developed new approaches to optimizing human capital development in the digital economy. Empirically proven possibility of compensating for the negative impact of demographic aging through the development of digital competencies.
