The human capital of the Perm region: gender peculiarities of realization

The necessity of application of the research methodology as a criterion to analyze the strategy targets of regional development in Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation has been substantiated in the paper. The strategy targets are worked out considering millennium development goals. Analyzing the situation in the Perm region, gender peculiarities of human capital realization have been stated as a major factor of sustainable development of the post-industrial economy. Expenses for ineffective application of health and education capital have been determined, as most men and women in the Perm region apply health and education capital ineffectively on the ground that male and female forms of development differ: low economic effi ciency regarding human capital is typical for women as there is gender discrimination both in social and reproductive sectors of the regional economy. As a result of short life period and a great number of deaths at productive age most men apply human capital incompletely. It has been pointed out that such gender disbalance lessens effi ciency of functioning of the economic entities of the Perm region such as men and women, enterprises and institutions and regional economy in general. Ways of optimization of men and women’s human capital application in the economy of the Perm region have been suggested.
