Abstract

The article suggests the method of assessment of conditions for formation and development of human capital(CFDHC) in a region for Russian conditions. This assessment is of integral character. It integrates 21 individualindices which measure deviations of the existing conditions for formation and development of human capital inthe given region, from the best ones that have ever been achieved in any other Russian regions. Information basefor calculations is an official statistics. There was suggested a scale for classification of regions according to thelevel of assessment (ranging from 0 to 1). The calculations of assessment of conditions for formation anddevelopment of human capital in all the regions of the Russian Federation for the period of 1999 - 2013 arepresented in this article. The analysis of the assessments dynamics showed their growth in most regions andgradual approximation of indices to favourable ones. This means that the social policy of the federal centre andregions is correctly oriented. However the regions' assessment level is diverse, it needs the development ofmanagement decisions aimed at overcoming differentiations. Based on the assessment indices for 2012 therewere distinguished three groups of regions - leaders, outsiders and neutral conditions regions. Separately therewere conducted the analysis of assessments indices of conditions for formation and development of humancapital for the region of Northwest Federal District which showed high assessments in St. Petersburg and lowones in other regions. The improvement of conditions for formation and development of human capital in theseregions is possible only in case of active support of the federal centre, that's why the transfer of the centre ofexpenditures, connected with the social policy, to the level of constituent entities of the federation, is impossiblewith regard to these regions.
