Abstract

Introduction. In the context of global intellectualization, human capital is a strategic factor in the country's development. It stimulates the growth of labor productivity, improves the quality of products and forms competitive advantages on the market. Accordingly, world leaders are countries that have learned better than others to use knowledge, skills, competence of people, their ability to further education - all that is covered by the category of human capital. Therefore, the global aspects of the human capital functioning and the influence of globalization on its development require a more deep study. Purpose. The main aim of research is studying of global intellectualization influence on human development. Results. In the modern world, there is large number of indicators which characterize differences intellectualization influence on human capital. When comparing the intellectualization influence on human capital, the problems arise with different number of countries, duplication of indicators, disproportionate number of the components of indicators, various years of publication, etc. Therefore, to ensure comparability , we choose four general indicators – the Human Development Index, the Global Human Capital Index, the Global Innovation Index and the Global Competitiveness Index. Using these indexes we do the research and interconnection between intellectualization and human development. According to the results, as for 2017 we have divided the countries of the world economy into four groups, while taking into account that the first three groups included 30 countries according to their location in the ranking of each of the above indicators, and the fourth group - all other countries that remained and did not enter the rating to the previous three groups, due to the lack of all indicators for an adequate international comparison. As a result, it was found that in the first group of countries, the coincidence was 23, in the second and third, six and four respectively, in the fourth 18. Conclusion. In the context of the global intellectualization, human capital is the determining factor in the innovation development and the international competitiveness of countries. In the XXI century. the leading component of human capital are qualitatively new information, communication and network technologies. Particular importance are education and training, professionalism, high level of human resources management, building up, reproduction and human capital development. These factors are the prerequisite for the growth of the competitive advantages of the country in the conditions of globalization.
