KREM

Findings:The results indicate that the efficiency of human capital in Ukraine is low. This is caused primarily by negative economic dynamics, but also by fairly low public spending on education and healthcare. Implications / Recommendations: A review of the literature shows that implementation of the Polish experience could boost the effectiveness of human capital investments in Ukraine. Conducting a comparative analysis will make it possible to identify the main areas and directions of their implementation. Contribution: The article contributes to the scientific literature on evaluating the effectiveness of human capital investment. It also identifies current shortcomings in the creation, development, use and preservation of human capital, and which should be improved in such areas as education, healthcare and the social and labour sphere.Article type: original article.

“…Одні з перших робіт, які стали основою сучасної теорії фіктивного людського капіталу були написані Поляковим [8] та Колядіним [4]. Сутність та характерні особливості фіктивного людського капіталу, а також концептуальні підходи та особливості його оцінювання було досліджено в роботах [1,2]. Розглядаючи проблеми фіктивізації людського капіталу в сучасному дискурсі, варто відзначити, що посилення уваги до дослідження непродуктивних форм людського капіталу, пов'язане не тільки з розвитком теорії людського капіталу, а й кризовими явищами в усіх сферах суспільного життя, під впливом яких активізуються фіктивізаційні процеси [3; 7; 9].…”

Factors of human capital fictivization: current trends and influence on the processes of reproduction of human capital

Social and labour relations: theory and practice

2019

The proliferation of unproductive forms of human capital, deepening of the processes of its digitization, which is currently taking place in the sphere of education, health care and social and labor sphere, is a rather threatening trend for the national economy. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to study the influence of the main factors of the process of the formation of labor potential, the development, use and preservation of human capital in the field of education, health care and social and labor sphere, as well as substantiation of the ways of reducing the negative influence of the factors of digitization. The existing asymmetries in socio-economic development are described, the deepening of which contributes to the spread of unproductive forms of human capital are described by the author. In the educational sphere, it is primarily the reduction of the quality of educational services and corruption; low wages; low level of academic integrity, etc. In the health sector, the processes of filing are primarily due to the poor state of the material base of the national state health care institutions; low wages in state health care institutions; low availability of quality medical services for the general population; insufficient distribution of a culture of health support throughout life, etc. In the social and labor sphere of human capitalization, the following factors contribute to the following: low wages in the whole economy; low social stability, low social guarantees; orientation of entrepreneurs for «fast results», short-term planning; discrimination of certain categories of people in the labor market; low level of social responsibility of the state, etc.

The dynamics of processes of human capital formation in the sphere of healthcare is investigated. The trends, processes and asymmetries in this area that accompany the gradual market transformation of the national health system are often characterized, and often provoke the formation of unproductive forms of human capital and the processes of fiktivization. The system of indicators for estimating nominal and real human capital is proposed. The dynamics of nominal human capital is estimated by the following indicators: the growth of the rate of the number of doctors of all specialties per 10 thousand population; the growth rate of the number of average medical personnel per 10 thousand population; the growth rate of the planned capacity of outpatient clinics for 10 thousand people. To assess the dynamics of nominal human capital: growth rate of the average life expectancy at birth (without gender differentiation); the growth rate of the disease per 100 thousand population (all diseases). According to our methodology, the growth of the index of real human capital shows progress in the medical sphere. The growth of the nominal human capital index shows an increase in spending on this area, and it does not always indicate progress, although its substantial reduction is alarming and requires a more detailed analysis. If real human capital grows faster than nominal, then healthcare activities are effective, and if on the contrary – in this area the processes of fictivization takes place. Recommendations for reducing the fiktivization processes in the sphere of healthcare are proposed, which include: development and implementation of a system for monitoring the quality of medical services on the basic data of the eHealth system; the further introduction of digital technologies into the national health system and, on this basis, – increasing the availability of analytical information for both medical professionals and researchers, and for the public, the dissemination of medical literacy and healthy lifestyles.
