The Impact of Human Development Management on Ensuring the Quality of Life of the Population and Innovation in the Countries of the World

The article studies the impact of human development management on ensuring the quality of life of the population and the innovative potential of the countries of the world. It is determined that effective management of human capital is a key factor in the competitiveness of countries, contributes to economic growth, social stability and scientific and technological progress. The carried out analysis confirmed a significant relationship between the Human Development Index (HDI), the Quality of Life Index (QLI) and the Global Innovation Index (GII). The cluster analysis of the countries of the world made it possible to identify three main groups according to the level of development, among which Ukraine was included in the cluster of countries with relatively low HDI, QLI and GII indicators. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of the war in Ukraine, which has caused significant losses of human capital due to large-scale migration, reduced employment and the destruction of educational and medical infrastructure. The main challenges that complicate the post-war recovery of the country and require comprehensive reforms in the field of human development have been identified. On the basis of the carried out study, strategic directions of human development management in Ukraine are proposed, which include: stimulating the return of labor migrants; development of the digital economy; restoration of infrastructure based on Smart City conceptions; modernization of the labor market and education; increasing social protection of the population and improving employment conditions. Attention is also focused on the need to attract foreign investments, grants and international financial assistance to implement measures to restore human capital and the country’s economy. The results of the study confirm that in order to ensure the sustainable development of Ukraine after the war, a comprehensive State policy is needed aimed at improving human capital, improving the quality of life of the population and strengthening the country’s innovation potential.
