The value of human capital, its potential, as well as the main components forming the human capital, are studied herein. A methodology for human capital assessment, contributing to the formation of various development programs for the regions of the Russian Federation aimed at improving the social and economic well-being, is proposed by the authors. The importance of human capital as a factor of economic growth, through the increase in labour performance, generation and implementation of new concepts and innovations, is revealed in this paper.
The dialectical and systemic approaches constitute the methodological basis of the study. The study is based on a wide use of analysis and synthesis methods, factor and statistical analyses.
As a result of the assessment conducted by the authors, a consolidated index of human capital management in the regions of the Russian Federation was formed and the programs for the development and enhancement of the intellectual and innovative potentials of human capital were developed.
The obtained results make it possible to supplement the existing research in the field of human capital formation, in particular, in the field of interaction with the intellectual and innovative potential. The practical significance of the research is to formulate the recommendations for improving human capital management in the regions and developing the conditions required to conduct the innovative and scientific activity.
Human Capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, The Innovative Potential of the Region, The Intellectual Potential of the Region, The Labour Potential of the Region, The Composite Index of Human Capital, The Aggregate Intellectual and Innovative Potential.
Nowadays, the competitive advantages of the economy and the possibilities for its modernization are largely determined by the accumulated and effectuated human capital, as well as the experience in various fields. Human capital is a diverse and highly complex productive factor that affects the development of the economy and society, including the labour force, the innovation system, high-performance accumulated knowledge, professional information systems, intellectual and organizational tools, the quality of life and the intellectual activity that ensure the efficient functioning of human capital (Nevretdinova, 2015).
Human capital is considered by modern economic growth theories as one of the key factors in the development of the economy, due to the fact that human capital contributes to economic growth, not only by increasing the labour productivity, but also through the generation and implementation of new concepts and innovations; moreover, it facilitates their perception and distribution (Becker, 2003; Davin et al., 2015). Therefore, the research in the field of human capital and increase in its potential is of great importance for the Russian Federation and its regions, by virtue of the fact that Russia is on the way to evolvement of the innovative development of the economy.
In order to achieve the above goals, the state and regional government bodies in the Russian Federation are increasingly trying to activate the innovative processes through the establishment of human capital institutions that could create conditions for a new stage in the economy development of the country (Chechina, 2013).
To date, innovations significantly influence the formation of sustainable growth and economic development of various economic systems. In the modern economy, innovations are the key drivers in value creation for goods and services, as well as the economic growth and employment.
However, the standard and traditional methods for managing human capital and its potential, required in the process of innovation development of the economic systems in the country and in its regions, begin to lose their potential and become increasingly constraining factors, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of these constituent entities. As a result, the production structure of the country is not capable of adapting to modern, chaotically developing economic systems. For this reason, a need arises for development of an efficient system to manage the human capital and its potential, which will ensure the development of the aggregate intellectual and innovative potential of the human capital of the regions and of the country as a whole. The aggregate intellectual and innovative potential contributes to the staffing of the strategic fields oriented towards to socio-economic development, the release of new types of products, the emergence of new business areas, based on knowledge-based entrepreneurship and the commercialization of the scientific and technical concepts (Pozdnyakov, 2012). However, in order to build an efficient human capital management system, it is required to have a developed national methodology for human capital assessment, which is reflected, developed and tested herein by the example of the regions of the Russian Federation. Alongside the research on human capital and its further development, the measures for human capital development in the Republic of Tatarstan are proposed by the authors.
The concept of human capital was considered in one form or another in the scientific papers of A. Smith, D. Ricardo, A. Marshall, K. Marx, F. Engels, J. Mill, L. Walras, J.B. Clarke and other scientists (Brick & Goreltsev, 2014). Becker considered human capital as a set of skills, knowledge and experience of a person. According to his definition, "human capital is formed by investment in a person, including education, training in production, costs of health care, migration and search for information on prices and incomes" (Becker, 2003). According to Schulz, human capital is the valuable qualities acquired by a person that can be improved by appropriate investments (Schultz, 1961). However, Schulz and Becker paid more attention to the explanation and gaining the concept of an equitable distribution of material resources and the role of human capital in the gross national product development.
A lack of consensus on the definition and content of the concept of "human capital" can be observed in subsequent scientific papers. This fact can be explained by the complexity and versatility of this phenomenon. For example, economic dictionaries define human capital as the skills, abilities and experience of a person that enable a person to receive income (Bannock & Baxter, 2011).
Subsequently, this definition was expanded to include the non-material effects: Human capital is the knowledge, competence and properties embodied in the individuals, promoting a personal, social and economic well-being (Bannock & Baxter, 2011).
Human capital was understood by Dolan and Lindsay as capital, existing in the form of mental abilities, achieved either through formal training and education or through practical experience (Dolan & Lindsay, 1992).
Human capital consists of different parts. Depending on the main constituent parts, human capital can be imagined as the totality of certain elements (Mustafin & Ignateva, 2016). Such structural elements are proposed to be called the human capital potential, as they create a certain reserve of abilities suitable for application in activities (Kurgansky, 2011). Human capital is characterized herein, using the indicators for potential human capital (Markova & Smirnov, 2013).
Currently, three most common methods of human capital measurement are used: Cost-based–by the aggregate investments in human capital, discount–the calculations of the human capital value at a given rate of return on national wealth and the method for determination of the human capital integral values, based on the definition of a composite index by measuring its individual components by means of relevant indicators–the indicators, monitored by statistical bodies (Chizhova et al., 2013).
The most popular method in terms of comparison between the economic systems is the third approach, based on the definition of the composite index of human capital (Kucharpikova et al., 2015).
Based on the foregoing, it follows that the most appropriate method for assessing the regional human capital, taking into account the specifics of the database of the All-Russian Statistical Institution (Rosstat) and its regional structures, is the statistical approach, with a selection of certain indicators, based on which the composite index of the human capital of the region is be calculated. The statistical approach to human capital assessment implies two components–the indicators, characterizing the potential (conditions) and the results of the human capital functioning (Latyshev & Akhmetshin, 2015).
When assessing the level of human capital development in the Republic of Tatarstan, the following indicators are proposed as the regional human capital indicators (Table 1) (Zubarevich, 2014).
Table-1 The Indicators Of The Components Of Human Capital Used In Assessing |

Number of patents per 10 thousand people | Z23 |
The number of researchers holding a science degree, | Z24 |
The number of personnel engaged in research and development, | Z25 |
Innovation potential of the region | |
Share of employed in high-tech and medium-technological activities in the total number of employed in the economy of the region, % | Z26 |
Share of employed in high-tech and medium-technological activities in the total number of employed in the economy of the region, % | Z27 |

Number of small enterprises in the region | Z32 |
Regional programs of entrepreneurship support in the region, pcs. | Z33 |
Share of revenues by small enterprises to total GRP, % | Z34 |
To translate each indicator into an index, the value of which varies from 0 to 1, you need to use the formulas:
For indicators characterizing the negative impact:
Where Zpi is the individual index of indicator i for the p-region;
Zi: The value of Z for the p-region;
Zmax ? Zmin: Maximum and minimum values of Z for the studied regions.
Further, it is required to determine the indices of the educational potential of the region, the labour potential of the region, the health potential, the socio-cultural potential, the intellectual potential for each territory, the entrepreneurial and innovation potential and to calculate the integrated human capital index of the region (IHCR) based on them. After the transfer of all regional indicators in the range of values from 0 to 1, the human capital potential indices can be determined. To simplify the methodology for human capital assessment, the relative importance of each individual and composite index can be considered equal to the formula 3-10 (Zabelina et al., 2013).
Index of educational potential:
Health potential index:
Labour force index:
Index of socio-cultural potential:
Intellectual potential index:
Innovative capacity index:
Index of entrepreneurial potential:
The total index of human capital (TIHC) = (Educational potential + labour potential + health potential + socio-cultural potential + innovation potential + intellectual potential + entrepreneurial potential)/7 (formula (10)).
Let us calculate the composite human capital index, reflecting the level of human capital management development in the region. The most developed in socio-economic terms regions serve as a research base herein.
Model
First of all, let us compare the intellectual potential of the regions, according to the indicators presented above (Table 1). Let us consider the example of calculation for a group of intellectual potential indicators of the regions (Z21-Z25) (Table 2) (Federal State Statistics Service, 2017).

In this ranking, the Republic of Tatarstan is ranked higher than the similar regions. However, the human capital of the Republic of Tatarstan has great opportunities, which must be developed and used.
Nowadays, the reorientation of the economy of the country through human capital, as a factor of innovation development, is the most relevant, since it contributes to the successful and effective development of regions in the future (Sharafutdinov et al., 2017; Silos & Smith, 2015, p. 640). This development is also important due to the fact that the Republic of Tatarstan depends largely on the raw material economy, due to which there is an urgent need for an increase in the share of innovation and high-tech industries in the real sector of the regional economy; however, this is impossible without relevant specialists (Figure 1).
Figure 1: The Amount Of Income Tax Receipts To The Budget Of The Republic Of Tatarstan, Billion Roubles
Figure 1 shows that most of the income of the Republic of Tatarstan is formed by the profit tax, which comes from the tax deductions of oil companies, which indicates a strong dependence of the region on the extractive industries.
According to the data presented in Table 12 and Figure 1, it becomes clear that the main revenue part of the budget is formed by the income tax, the main part of which also comes from the oil sector of the economy. This has a negative effect for Tatarstan, as well as for Russia as a whole, since the modern world is, first of all, the technology development, constant renewal of capital, which can be performed only through innovations, new technologies and development (Maksutina et al., 2016).

Currently, new technologies, equipment and other products containing innovations account for 70 to 85% of the growth in gross domestic product in the developed countries of Western Europe and America. They concentrate more than 90% of the world's scientific potential and control 80% of the global high-tech market, the volume of which is now estimated at 3 trillion USD, which exceeds the raw material market and energy resources. The profit received from sales of high technology products is huge. Annually, the volume of exports of science-intensive products brings the US about 700 billion dollars, Germany–530 billion dollars, Japan–400 billion dollars (Dutta et al., 2017).
That is why the innovative and intellectual potential of human capital is one of the main conditions for innovation activity and improvement of the economic growth.
The measures to develop the intellectual and innovation potential of human capital are proposed by the authors. This program is based on the evaluation analysis, taking into account the long-term forecast and program documents of the Republic of Tatarstan. The main objective of this program is to form the aggregate intellectual and innovative potential, to ensure the strategic fields of social and economic development, release of new types of products, the emergence of new business areas. The program is based on the foresight study of a number of indicators, their current status and forecast state (Efimova, 2010).
The program includes the following three periods: 2018-2021, 2022-2025 and 2026-2030, respectively. The integral indicators of the intellectual and innovative potential of human capital from 2012 to 2017 as well as the forecasted ones from 2018 to 2020 are taken as a basis (Table 13).

The expected result of the program implementation is the creation of conditions for the formation of accumulation and application of human capital in the field of innovation and scientific activity. As a result of the implementation of the proposed program, all the conditions required for the development of the intellectual property institution will have been formed, the share of the high-tech and knowledge-based sector will have been increased, the conditions for the innovation small business will have been created and the scientific and qualified personnel from the other regions will have been attracted to the developing innovation sector by 2020.
In conclusion, it should be noted that in the modern world, the competitive advantages of the economy and the possibilities for its modernization are largely determined by the accumulated and effectuated human capital in various fields. Many scholarly traditions and their authors believe that human capital is one of the key factors in the development of the economy through innovation activities. However, in order to build an effective human capital management system capable of promoting the innovation development, a developed human capital assessment methodology is required, which is considered, developed and tested in this scientific work. The assessment methodology proposed by the authors is developed taken into account the specificity of the database of the All-Russian Statistical Organization (Rosstat) and its regional structures and the application of the statistical approach, with the selection of certain indicators, on the basis of which the composite human capital index of the region is calculated.
The rating of the human capital index is calculated herein, which revealed the optimal level of human capital development in the regions of Russia. In this rating, the Republic of Tatarstan has a fairly good level of human capital development, but the level of innovation and intellectual potential remains not fully effectuated. In this regard, the measures for improving the intellectual and innovation potential of the human capital are developed by the authors. The expected result of the program is the creation of favorable conditions for the accumulation and use of human capital in the developing innovation economy sector of Russia and its regions.
