Abstract

The purpose of the presented study is to highlight the most relevant system for measuring human potential in terms of tasks to ensure an economic breakthrough at the national level, taking into account the specifics of the Russian Federation. The article explores different approaches to the definition of human potential. The authors have identified international and national methods for calculating this indicator, which make it possible to form the most complete and comprehensive set of indicators for the qualitative determination of the level of human potential. In our work, we used qualitative analysis of official reports and scientific papers on a given topic. An analysis of the concepts of domestic and foreign researchers regarding the assessment of human potential was carried out, which made it possible to determine the disadvantages and advantages of the approaches and the position of individual researchers. The scientific significance of the study results is the provision of a set of indicators for determining human potential. The results of the article can be used to prepare regulatory and methodological documents for the development of human potential and further domestic and foreign research on this topic.
