HUMAN CAPITAL AND DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE AS DETERMINANTS OF UNEVEN KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY FORMATION IN UKRAINIAN REGIONS

The article investigates human capital and digital infrastructure as key determinants of uneven knowledge economy formation in Ukrainian regions. Mechanisms of interdependence between human resources qualification and regional digital environment are revealed. A typology of Ukrainian regions by levels of human capital and digital infrastructure development is constructed. Persistent regional disparities and their structural and situational drivers — including the destructive impact of armed aggression — are identified. A set of differentiated regional policy measures aimed at overcoming these disparities is proposed.
