Abstract

The problem of human capital formation is of great importance for the country's sustainable development in the context of the change in the economic model of its development. It is human capital that is becoming the source of improvement of social and economic systems, the introduction of new scientific knowledge and strategic know-how in the XXI century. In this regard, highlighting the concepts of modern forms of knowledge generation is an urgent problem with the prospects of scientific and practical research. The relevance of the topic is conditioned by: (1) the lack of substantiation, enabling the scientific community of the Russian Federation to define the perspective concept of human capital development in the XXI century; (2) the necessity of development of scientifically grounded approach to personnel reproduction in the context of transition to the knowledge-based economy. In the light of the above, contradictions are seen between: (1) the economy's need for qualified personnel and the lack of scientifically substantiated approaches to human capital development in the context of transition to the knowledge-based economy; (2) the society's need for updated education and the lack of an effective conceptual framework that meets the challenges of the era. To solve the problem posed in the study the authors propose by identifying the concepts of modern forms of knowledge generation, which are relevant to the human capital formation in the context of the knowledge-based economy's key trends.
