Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of studying the phenomenon of human capital and analysing the factors of its growth has increased significantly in recent years, when the development of digital technologies has significantly accelerated the processes of interaction between people, and when assessing the labour potential of an employee, its intellectual component has come to the fore. A particularly strong impetus to the development of digital communication was given by the COVID-19 pandemic, which, with its forced isolation, prompted the personnel of companies around the world to search for effective tools for remote control and monitoring.

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to identify key indicators of human capital development in Kazakhstan in general and in the four regions of the Western region of Kazakhstan in particular.

Methodology. In the course of the study, the method of statistical analysis, the method of indicative analysis, as well as the method of forecasting were used.

Results. As key indicators of the development of human capital, such social and economic indicators as the percentage of citizens who have received higher education, the average level of wages, the number of practising doctors, and the activity of the cultural sphere, as well as the parameters of the innovative development of society – the costs of science and the level of digital literacy were taken.

Conclusions. The data were compared in dynamics with the indicators of several previous years, and based on the obtained values, short-term forecasts were formed. The practical significance of the study lies in the formation of predictable trends in the development of human capital, the identification of the most significant factors of its growth and the development of recommendations designed to improve the efficiency of national economy enterprises, both throughout Kazakhstan and its four western regions – Atyrau, Mangistau, Aktobe and West Kazakhstan.
