Human capital in the global economy of a post-industrial society

   The economy of a post-industrial society, characterized as a knowledge economy, imposes new requirements on the employee. The employee ceases to be an ordinary structural unit of production. His knowledge, skills and professional characteristics not only determine new trends in economic production, but also form new types of consumer behavior. This article examines the main factors of formation and institutional conditions for the development of human capital in the post-industrial economy. The connection of science, education and information and communication technologies with the economic development of post-industrial society, with a change in the nature of work and the type of employee is noted. The article also considers the human capital index, reflecting the potential of the human capital of countries and, as a result, their competitiveness. Human capital is considered as a key resource for the growth and development of the global economy.
