Human capital, human capital investment, strategy of human capital recovery, post-war recovery, digitalization.Abstract
The article presents the authors’ original classification of the factors that influence the creation and development of human capital. The suggested classification combines the factors of internal and external human capital environment into pairs and identifies global vectors that guide their development. The analysis results are used as the basis for the systematization of gains and losses of Ukraine’s human capital that allows the authors to determine the potential opportunities and threats for its recovery. The systems approach is employed to identify the factors of human capital formation, development and preservation using the results of SWOT-analysis. Consequently, the authors develop a conceptual framework for building a strategy of the post-war recovery of human capital in Ukraine taking into account the advantages of digitalization. The authors identify three major dimensions within which they propose to implement the main strategic directions of human capital recovery in Ukraine during the post-war period and specify the features of each strategic direction in the context of suggested dimensions.
