Mechanisms of State-Legal Management of Human Capital Development and Sustainable Development

In modern conditions, the development of human capital is one of the main components of a long-term strategy of development for any country, in connection with which finding opportunities for the formation of mechanisms of state-legal management is relevant. The aim of this research was to assess what approaches can be used in Azerbaijan to increase the rate of human capital development in the country. The main methods used in the research were logico-legal and the method of legal hermeneutics. The interdisciplinary approach connected human capital development with broader sustainability goals, emphasizing the critical role of skilled human resources in addressing complex challenges like climate change, technological innovation, and economic diversification. Within the framework of the research, it was assessed certain indicators that characterize the peculiarities of the current state of human capital in the country. During the work, the role of governmental mechanisms in the processes of human capital management in the country was assessed. In addition, the situation related to the development of this component in Azerbaijan was assessed. It was shown that the situation in this area in the country is generally improving, but some problems still remain and continue to negatively influence on the situation. It was concluded that most of the main changes, namely social characteristics and economic development of the country, have strongly positive trends. Nevertheless, the level of education and science in the country is developing insufficiently. The study assessed the main problems that currently exist in the field of education, as well as proposed specific methods for their solution. Among the problems were: corruption; inadequate education; low number of pupils in pre-school and higher education; low pay for teachers. Using the methods proposed in the research, the government of Azerbaijan will be able to achieve significant results in improving this situation, which can be one of the catalysts for improving both the social well-being of the country and the level of economic development.
