Current issues of human resources potential in the Republic of Tatarstan

This article is devoted to the analysis of human resource potential in the Republic of Tatarstan. Based on statistical data, a paradox in the labor market of the Republic of Tatarstan was identified: the simultaneous growth of unemployment and high demand from enterprises for qualified specialists. The structural problems of human resource potential in the Republic were also identified. Government support measures aimed at developing human resource potential in the key industries of the region were analyzed. Furthermore, the study compared the specialties demanded by the regional economy with the most popular fields of study based on the results of the 2025 admission campaign, which revealed a persistent gap between labor market demands and applicants' preferences. Recommendations for improving human resource potential management in Tatarstan were proposed.
