In the modern economy, human capital is the main strategic resource for development, which has a direct impact on economic growth and social welfare. In the Strategy of Socio-Economic Development of the Russian Federation for the Period Up to 2030, human capital is given priority, and therefore there is a need to develop and supplement existing methods of its assessment and management. The need to develop new methods is also connected with the transition of the economy to the new technological and world economic paradigms and the corresponding change in the structure and value of human capital. 

Presented article is the development of a study on the measurement of human capital in terms of structural changes in the economy; its aim is to develop a model of human capital formation, assessment and management through inclusion in strategic plans of socio-economic development in the transition to an integrated world economy and the sixth technological paradigm.

The tasks of the study are to consider the problems and prospects for the Russian human capital development at the stage of the new technological and world economic paradigms formation; to create a matrix of parameters for assessing human capital; to form a socio-economic model for the formation and assessment of national human capital. 

The subject of the research is economic relations arising in the process of formation and use of human capital at the present stage of economic development. The main results of the research are the development of a conceptual model for multi-level and multi-component assessment of national human capital. The scope of the results obtained is determined by the possibility of including key parameters of human capital in strategic plans for socio-economic development and improving the competitiveness of the national economy.

The implementation of project management in the Russian Federation has been going on for a long time, but with great difficulties. One of the reasons of it is the lack of reflection of the successes and failures of priority and national projects. The purpose of the paper is to develop an approach to assessing the achievement of federal projects management. We used both quantitative (e.g. standardization, calculation of growth rates, correlation analysis, statistical analysis) and qualitative methods (e.g. classification, benchmarking, comparative legal analysis). We identified three periods of project management: 2006–2013, 2016–2018 and 2019–2024, and determined their similarities and specifics. As a result we proved the gradual approximation of the projects structure to the “classical” standards of project management (PMBoK, PRINCE, etc.), and the growth of their maturity level. Wherein, the prioritization of projects does not take into account the public expectations. In the first period, projects were initiated primarily in crisis sectors of the national economy, and in the last, in successful ones. A significant part of the projects` goals is not subject to statistical evaluation and was poorly integrated with government programs. The projects` goals in most cases are overly ambitious and do not correlate with socio-economic development trends. We empirically confirmed the hypothesis about increasing projects funding during periods of economic growth. Also we established a set of organizational, legal and financial proposals. Our conclusions are included in the current scientific discussion on the problems of improving project management.
