ASSESSMENT OF THE REGIONS' TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN POTENTIAL (AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE SUBJECTS OF THE URAL AND SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICTS)

<p>Developing human potential, improving<br>the population’s life quality of the regions are the unconditional priorities of the regional socio-economic policy.<br>The implementation of such priorities requires an objective assessment of the existing socio-economic situation<br>of the Russian Federation’s constituent entities, an analysis of the conditions for regional development, a search<br>for economic growth drivers, and the development of<br>effective mechanisms for implementing priorities.<br>The designated issues are in the area of scientists’ and<br>specialists’ close attention, whose range of scientific research and applied practices is constantly replenished.<br>In this regard, the article expands the understanding<br>of the complexity of the regions’ socio-economic and<br>technological development, and various aspects of the<br>processes of regional development are considered on<br>the basis of the proposed model, the essence of which<br>is represented by the triad “conditions-factors-results”.<br>Within the framework of the proposed triad, «conditions» were determined by the socio-economic situation of the region, scientific, technological and digital<br>«factors» were considered as drivers of development;and “results” were investigated through social parameters that reflect the level of human development.<br>Taking into account the importance of achieving social<br>results in the framework of technological development,<br>studies aimed at studying the interdependence of the<br>processes of technological transformation and human<br>development seem to be very timely and relevant.</p>
