Abstract

The article substantiates the heterogeneity of human potential and the need for its structuring from the perspective of its impact on economic growth. Three qualitatively different components of human potential are identified: human capital, economically significant components of human potential, and non-economic components of human potential. A typology of human potential states reflecting the level of realisation of its individual components is proposed.
