Abstract
In the context of the dynamic development of the education economy and digital transformation, the importance of human capital as the main resource for sustainable economic growth and competitiveness of countries and organizations is increasing. The quality of human capital, determined by educational opportunities, skills, health, and innovation, is becoming a major factor affecting labor productivity and overall productivity levels. An economic assessment of the quality of human capital makes it possible to quantify its contribution to the development of the economy and identify priority areas for investment in education, healthcare and vocational training.
The purpose of this work is to identify effective methods of research and analysis of approaches to the economic assessment of the quality of human capital. The study examines traditional and modern assessment models, including human development indices, production functions, income models, as well as methods based on indicators of health and standard of living of the population. Special attention is paid to a comprehensive assessment that combines the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of human capital.
The practical significance of economic assessment lies in the possibility of its use for shaping public policy in the field of education and employment, developing professional development programs, as well as making managerial decisions at the company level. The results of the study indicate the need for constant updating of the systematic approach and methodological foundations to the assessment of human capital, taking into account changes in the socio-economic environment.
Thus, the economic assessment of the quality of human capital is an important tool for analyzing and forecasting development at the macro and micro levels, contributing to a more efficient use of human resources.
