Abstract |
Problem setting. Nowadays numerous approaches are inherent for development of the scientific and research program of human capital assuming the interdisciplinary character. Those scientifi c developments aiming at the analysis of the structure and the forms of human capital are considerably signifi cant. Such researches extend comprehension of a multidimensional sense of human capital and are a theoretic basis of a state policy under conditions of the knowledge economy. Recent research and publication analysis. Contemporary scientifi c sources do not contain the unifi ed approach to defi ning of the forms human capital. Different tests of their determination are substantiated in working papers of J. Derii, R. Kapeliushnikov, S. Klimov, Yu. Korchagin, H. Rozhkov, I. Skobliakova, A. Tsyrenova etc. Paper objective. The objective of the article is determination and description of the main forms of human capital on the basis of the investment and the resource approaches to their classifi cation. Paper main body. The forms of human capital include its structure elements (components), the segregation of which bases on determination and application of some tests of structuring of the sense of human capital.

The basic forms of human capital encompass health, educational capital, capital of professional education, cultural capital, and capital of information provision, mobility, and family education. Derivative forms, i.e. intellectual, labor, organizational and entrepreneurship, and social capitals are created on the basis of the main forms. The basic forms of human capital constitute its nucleus providing a particular level of formation, accumulation, and realization of the derivative forms and human capital as an integrative unity of its components. The derivative forms of human capital should be considered as an integrative unity of sources of formation and accumulation of derivative forms on the whole and as reflection of the peculiarities of an object of direct investments in an individual or its specific resource in particular. Conclusion of the research. Human capital of an individual is an integrative unity of its basic and derivative forms, reproduction of which is executed on the basis of the direct and the institutional and social investments in an individual. |
