Abstract
The purpose of this work is to evaluate human capital and its efficiency based on the indicators of average and marginal productivity in the regions of Russia. The assessment of human capital was made by taking into account the presence of digital competencies necessary for the modern economy. The average productivity of human capital is defined as the ratio of the gross regional product per employee to the indicator of human capital. The marginal productivity of human capital is defined as the ratio of the relative change in the gross regional product per employee to the absolute change in human capital. Based on these results, the regional differentiation of the efficiency of the utilisation of human capital is characterized and recommendations for its reduction are proposed.
