Abstract

This article focused on the relationship between human capital (HC) and
competitiveness in Russia. The study examined (1) the impact of investments in knowledgeintensive
industries on the socio-economic development; (2) the impact of the share of
employees; (3) the impact of religious factors on HC; and (4) the problems of forming H at innovative enterprises. At the national level, the investments in knowledge-intensive
industries exert no effect on the country’s socio-economic development. The GDP growth
was proved to be directly related to the people’s desire to improve their qualifications. The
impact of cultural, educational, and health factors differ across regions.
