REPRODUCTION OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN THE ALTAI TERRITORY

Abstract

The scientific significance of the study is determined by the relevance of the level of reproduction of human capital. The specificity of reproduction determines the demographic security of the region and the country. The study aims to describe the social mechanisms of reproduction of demographic indicators of the Altai Territory, the dynamics of the birth rate, and the specificity of the reproductive behavior of young people in the region. The analysis of demographic and social indicators involves an interdisciplinary approach. We analyzed social theories of risk and safety, well-being, and the self-preservation reserve of the population. These theories are the basis for assessing and forecasting the depopulation in Russia at the regional level. Moreover, we used the concept of integrative social vulnerability. One can employ the proposed concept in optimizing social state control of the security policy. The study presents scientifically grounded data on economic, institutional, social, psychological, and behavioral determinants that identify the motivation of different social and age groups of the region’s population, increasing the duration of an active and healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, we described the mechanism of sociodemographic interaction, including the systemic functioning in the context of social security. The integrative concept of social vulnerability determines the novelty of the results obtained. In addition, we summarized the interaction of social macro processes and personality traits that violate the protective mechanism of a social subject using objective statistical information. Therefore, we carried out a retrospective analysis to present subjective assessments of vital values of the region’s population. The study’s originality lies in synthesizing the objective globalization trends and regional specifics of the Russian border region
