Evaluation of the investment process in the region and the influence of social well-being of the population on it

Abstract

The authors of the present paper consider the main indicators for assessing the investment process in the region. The influence of effective human capital on this process is substantiated. The paper shows that the formation of such human capital in modern Russia depends on the social well-being of the population of the region, which in its turn is largely determined by the existing level of social justice. The Lorentz curves, the Gini coefficient and the Robin Hood index are proposed to be used for objective assessment of this level. In order to create more favorable conditions for the formation of effective human capital in the region, it is proposed to use progressive taxation and state social transfer payments, create and develop institutions of civil society, increase the investment activity of private business, the state and public-private partnership.
