Differentiation of Rural Territories According to the Conditions of Human Reproduction

Abstract

In conditions of high spatial differentiation of rural territories, an objective assessment of the conditions for the reproduction of human capital is of particular importance. However, the developed methods, firstly, cannot always take into account all the components of human capital. Secondly, they do not affect the conditions for its accumulation. Thirdly, they include various indicator systems that are difficult to interpret when analyzing. In this regard, the results of such assessments lead to significant differences in the size of human capital and, accordingly, the impossibility of taking forehanded management measures for its normal reproduction. Therefore, the aim of the study is to develop and test an approach to the diagnosis of the conditions for the reproduction of human capital (demographic, migration, infrastructure and socio-economic), based on the method of scoring and ranking. In the process of the study, it was concluded that there are limitations affecting the reliability of the assessment, the most significant of which is the absence of a complete set of statistical indicators for analyzing the conditions for the reproduction of rural human capital in official Russian statistics. The practical application of the developed point-rating assessment allowed us to identify the degree of differentiation of rural areas of Russia according to the conditions of reproduction of human capital based on the identification of leading regions and outsider regions.

Rural Territories Differentiation According to the Level and Conditions of Human Capital Formation

“…The calculation of the final score and the ranking of macroregions based on it showed that the best conditions for the reproduction of human capital were created in the rural territories of the Ural-Siberian and Far Eastern macro-regions, where the Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Districts can be distinguished. The Angara-Yenisei macro-region and especially the Republic of Tuva have worse conditions [17].…”
