The aim of the research is to determine the possibilities of using existing statistical data to measure human capital and then develop directions for state policy to increase individual human capital in rural settlements in this country. The methods used are the analysis of scientific literature and statistical processing of population surveys on socio-demographic issues held by the Federal State Statistic Service. The study result is the assessment of modern individual human capital in rural settlements of Russia in comparison with urban settlements. The scope of the results is that the research findings can be used by federal executive authorities in clarifying the state program “Integrated development of rural territories” adopted in 2019 in terms of the impact on the most problematic components of individual human capital in rural settlements.

We use a natural experiment in Indonesia to provide causal evidence on the role of location-specific human capital and skill transferability in shaping the spatial distribution of productivity. From 1979–1988, the Transmigration Program relocated two million migrants from rural Java and Bali to new rural settlements in the Outer Islands. Villages assigned migrants from regions with more similar agroclimatic endowments exhibit higher rice productivity and nighttime light intensity one to two decades later. We find some evidence of migrants' adaptation to agroclimatic change. Overall, our results suggest that regional productivity differences may overstate the potential gains from migration.

This article identifies the main theoretical and methodological approaches for defining and researching the human capital. Following the scientific tendencies, the author distinguishes such structural elements of the human capital as the health capital, the cultural capital, the capital of education, the intellectual capital, the informational capital and the communicational capital. Based on the analysis of the official statistical data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia and the secondary mathematical analysis of the RLMS-HSE data for the 1994–2019 period the author makes several conclusions about the changes of the human capital in rural settlements. The structure of martial relationships of the population of rural areas did not undergo any major changes, however the number of residents who were never married or are currently divorced has insignificantly increased. There is also a tendency of the increase in the numbers of families with two children and the reduction of the large families In 1998 the number of the officially employed residents of the rural areas has reached its lowest point, up until 2010 the figures have been increasing, since 2010 there was a tendency of the decrease of the amount of jobs for the rural population. From 2000 to 2019 the practices of cattle breeding, poultry rearing and fish farming have reduced significantly, so as growing anything on the own’s property for sale or exchange between the residents of the rural area. The author comes to the conclusion that at the moment the residents of the rural areas are almost entirely ousted by the agricultural holdings and large commercial farms from the market relations and since are unable to make additional profit of their households. Despite the reduction of the number of jobs in the rural area as well as the reduction of the livestock breeding and crop cultivation practices according to the analysis of the empirical data, we can claim that during the 1994–2019 period there is a strong tendency of the raise of the assessment of the material status of the residents of the rural areas. Following the 2000–2019 period dynamics we can also see the growing tendency of the increase of the level of satisfaction of one’s wealth. Also, the 1994–2019 period shows the stable tendency of the raise of the assessment of one’s legal status by the residents of the rural areas. The author comes to the conclusion that the human capital of the rural area during the 1994–2019 period has undergone several changes because of the reduction of available jobs, changes of the forms of work and working relationship, the loss of specific work practices and the emergence of the new ones. There is also an active development of digital competence between the residents of the rural areas.

Enterprises from the SME sector significantly affect the quality of human capital in Poland and the standards of their management are rising every year. The aim of this article is to present the essence and specifics of human capital of SMEs, showing the impact of European integration on the devel-opment of human capital in this sector. In addition, the authors focus on finding the answer to the question whether employers willingly reach for EU funding (sources of knowledge, forms, types of funding, barriers to access to funds) to be able to support and develop human capital that they have in the long run. The study was carried out by a survey method. The analysis made allowed to formu-late the following conclusions. Entrepreneurs willingly undertake to raise funds from EU funds. Re-spondents were convinced that EU funds help in the development of their businesses, although ob-taining funding alone is not easy. The respondents pointed to barriers, which include complicated and lengthy procedures, as well as low availability of information.
