Thus, the practice of developed nations shows that the specially created
European
Lifelong Guidance Policy Network (ELGPN) promotes enhancing the cooperation of
the EU countries in the field of the continuous professional orientation of the
population and supports the establishment of appropriate national and regional
structures in the sphere of education and employment [3, p. 25]. ELGPN cooperates
with the International Centre for Career Development and Public Policy (ICCDPP),
initiating joint projects of mutual interest targeted at the international exchange of
knowledge and experience in training of highly-skilled specialists [17].
CONCLUSION
The conducted analysis of the dynamics in human potential of Ukraine for the
period of 2014-2017 has made it possible to reveal that the negative impact has been
generated on intellectual potential as the most important labor potential component for
the further social and economic development of the country. In the complex of
subjective causes leading to decrease in intellectual potential of Ukraine, there is the
dissatisfaction with living and labor conditions that evokes the steady negative
migration of the population. The desire to look for a job abroad is mainly observed
among representatives of the well-fixed and average-income young able-bodied
population with a high level of education, which directly worsens intellectual
capabilities of society. At the core of subjective decisions made by representatives of
intellectual potential, there are the objectively formed grounds, such as: negative
dynamics in shares of public expenditures for the implementation of research and
developments, education, and health protection in terms of the GDP volume of Ukraine
for the period of 2010-2017; decrease in R&D/GDP intensity, which has a negative
trend in general terms and when compared with the growth indices of GDP; long
negative dynamics in the share of employees performing research and developments
in the number of the employed population of Ukraine due to decrease in the demand
for services of intellectual labor on the part of the public economy sector in particular.
It is obvious that negative processes in the dynamics of labor and intellectual potentials,
such as: depopulation, degradation, and negative migration, are also inherent in the
Ukrainian economy as well as in other post-socialist countries. The conducted analysis
allows making the conclusion that it is necessary to improve methods for the study of
problems in regards to reproducing human capital and potential of society. The
conceptual model of reproducing labor potential proposed in the work allows to focus
attention on solving the problem of reproducing its component – intellectual potential
being the most sensitive one to the influence of various facts.
Further studies of trends in the dynamics of human capital and potential of
Ukraine and problems of their reproducing can be connected: firstly, with the
epistemological filling of the concept «degradation area of human capital», which will
