https://doi.org/10.21686/2413-2829-2025-2-101-117
Abstract
The goal of the article is to study interconnection between bio-economy shaping, development of human capital and population health in regions of Russia. Certain indicators of population health were analyzed in federal areas and regions of the Russian Federation in the 21st century. The research showed a trend to reduction in death-rate of employable people (death number per 100.000 people). At the same time it was found that death-rate in the NorthCaucasian federal area was considerably lower in comparison with other areas and in Russia in general (by Mann – Whitney non-parametric criterion). Dynamics of population sick-rate in the Russian Federation was illustrated by key classes of illnesses in 2000–2022. Findings of the research underline that socially important illnesses and TB among them are important for population health, which is considered as one of the most significant components of human capital that plays a principle role in the development of regional economy. Analysis of statistic data shows reliable cut in TB numbers from 2010 to 2022 in all federal areas. The authors show cyclic interdependence of bioeconomy functioning and development of human capital by provision of population health as one of possible ways. The research put forward a cyclic model of interconnection between the condition of human capital, characteristics of public health system operation and prospects of bio-economy development, which gives an opportunity to assess the potential of regional development of bio-economy.
