Development trends and dominant characteristics of human capital in the digital transformation of the economy

In the paper, the author attempts to determine specific to the Russian economy development trends and characteristics of human capital. It is done in the context of digitalization of the economy in comparison with global trends, such as intellectualization and creativization, virtualization and networking, integrativity and variability of education, coherence of competencies, a combination of convergence and divergence of technogenesis and anthropogenesis, based on content analysis of scientific literature and empirical sources. It is shown that the trends in the evolution of human capital in the Russian economy in the context of digital transformation generally correspond to current global trends. As features of the current stage of human capital development in the Russian economy, the weak involvement of the population in the processes of continuing education, the low level of social capital development in vast rural areas of the country, aggravated by digital inequality, and the shortage of regional universities that can play a key role in the formation of regional intellectual capital are identified. Overcoming these negative characteristics requires the development and implementation of new, global trends-oriented, effective forms and mechanisms for the reproduction of human capital.
