Demographic determinants of formation and use of human capital in Ukraine: differential analysis and forecast

Стаття присвячена проблемі, яка є чи не найменш дослідженою у вітчизняній економічній науці: впливу демографічних процесів на перспективи нагромадження та результативність використання людського капіталу. Автором аргументовано, що концентрація уваги виключно у площині якості освіти та професійної підготовки, що притаманне переважній більшості наукових досліджень, мінімізує ефективність управління людським капіталом як економічним активом. Саме людина виступає демографічним базисом нагромадження людського капіталу, а тому особливості перебігу таких демографічних процесів, як народжуваність, смертність, міграція, утворення та розпад сімей, заслуговують на ретельний аналіз. Відповідно, основні завдання дослідження, результати якого викладені у статті, пов’язані з уточненням впливу демографічної ситуації на результативність формування та використання людського капіталу. Встановлено, що, через демографічну кризу, в Україні значно погіршилися вихідні умови нагромадження людського капіталу на всіх рівнях економічної системи. Обґрунтовано, що оновлення курсу демографічної політики є запорукою підвищення ефективності соціальних інвестицій та оптимізації відносин у різних сферах суспільного життя.Статья посвящена проблеме, которая является едва ли не самой малоисследованной в отечественной экономической науке: влиянию демографических процессов на перспективы накопления и результативность использования человеческого капитала. Автором аргументировано, что концентрация внимания исключительно в плоскости качества образования и профессиональной подготовки, что присуще подавляющему большинству научных исследований, минимизирует эффективность управления человеческим капиталом как экономическим активом. Именно человек выступает демографическим базисом накопления человеческого капитала, а потому особенности таких демографических процессов, как рождаемость, смертность, миграция, создание и распад семей, требуют тщательного анализа. Соответственно, основные задачи исследования, результаты которого изложены в статье, связаны с уточнением влияния демографической ситуации на результативность формирования и использования человеческого капитала. Установлено, что, из-за демографического кризиса, в Украине значительно ухудшились исходные условия накопления человеческого капитала на всех уровнях экономической системы. Обосновано, что обновление курса демографической политики является залогом повышения эффективности социальных инвестиций, а также оптимизации отношений в различных сферах общественной жизни.The article deals with the problem that is little investigated in domestic economics. It assesses the impact of demographic processes on the prospects of accumulation and productivity of human capital. The author argues that focusing only in the quality of education and training that is inherent in most modern research, minimizes the effectiveness of human capital management as an economic asset. A man is a demographic basis of human capital accumulation. Accordingly, the particular demographic processes such as fertility, mortality, migration, development and disintegration of families, require careful analysis. The main objectives of the study related to the specification of the impact of demographic situation on the effectiveness of formation and use of human capital. It was found that due to the increasing demographic crisis in Ukraine initial conditions of accumulation of human capital at all levels of the economic system deteriorated significantly. It was substantiated that the renovation of demographic policy is a key factor for improving the efficiency of social investment; it also causes optimization of relations in various spheres of social interaction

Effective management of a learning organization: creating opportunities for informal learning

Changes in innovation and technology, globalization processes, increasing competition determine changes in the activities of learning organizations (educational institutions). Effective management helps manage these changes and meet emerging challenges. The concept of learning organizations is closely related to future perspectives, perceptions of an institution that is constantly evolving and changing. Those changes affect not only the institution itself but also its employees who need to change, improve, and meet the challenges that arise with it. In order to overcome such changes, not only the purposeful lifelong learning is important, but also the self-directed learning. In both cases, this can only be achieved with innovative and focused leadership that facilitates a variety of forms of employee learning. The essence of effective management in learning organizations is related to the goals pursued jointly both by the organization itself and its employees because otherwise it will be difficult to improve and change. With this in mind, the aim of the article is to identify effective management solutions that help to improve the self-learning of employees in this case the teachers. To achieve the goal, the tasks are formulated to discuss the concepts of effective management and learning organization, to describe the theoretical aspects of self-learning; to reveal the self-learning strategies of the learning organization which is the school. Thus, the research highlighted the opportunities provided by the effective management of learning organizations, reflected in self-learning, for the development of employees so that their skills and knowledge are constantly updated. Emphasized self-learning strategies - practical work, observation, communication and collaboration, reflection, reading - are preliminary guidelines for creating a suitable learning environment within the organization
