The role of Human Capital in Improving the Quality and Dynamics of the Russian Economy

In modern conditions, not only the importance of investments in education and health care as factors of economic growth, but also the role of health and the knowledge economy in shaping the quality of life is growing. The role of values and soft non-financial drivers of development is playing an increasingly important role, both at the level of society as a whole and in the behaviour of corporations and households. Despite the costs of the Western blockade, Russia needs to overcome years of stagnation in spending on science, education, and health care, and to create its own attractive standard and way of life.
