knowledge, creativity, experience, moral values, and
work culture, and health state. The development of
human capital under the conditions of the creative
economy is important due to the fact that it forms
the structural or organizational capital of the
industry, which determines the market position of
the creative industry and the development of the
creative industry as a whole. After all, it
characterizes the set of established and developed
productive abilities, as a result of investment in
education and health care, personal traits, and
motivations of individuals who are in their
possession, which are used in the creative industry,
promoting productivity and, thus, affecting the
value-added generated in this area of the national
economy. Therefore, an important issue is studying
aspects of the formation and use of human capital
under the conditions of the creative industry.
2 Literature Review
The development of the creative economy and the
gradual formation of its sectoral structure were
caused by the provision and intellectualization of
social development, which took place under the
influence of global external factors (international
economic integration processes, internationalization
and globalization of social development).
Information and communication technologies
(including the Internet) have contributed to greater
transparency of the labor market, as well as helped
create better educational conditions, which allowed
gaining new knowledge and becoming more mobile
in the professional space of potential employees. In
the modern business environment, the creative
human resource and its new qualitative
characteristics (creativity, originality, criticality,
speed of decision-making) are highly appreciated;
consequently, there is a tough struggle between
employers for such specialists (Kuznetsova, 2016).
The creative industry can be defined as a set of
economic activities related to the creation or use of
knowledge and information [1].
Human capital, according to the viewpoint of
Becker, one of the creators of the theory of human
capital, is storage of knowledge, skills and
motivation available to everyone [2]. The required
amount of effective human capital is a key source of
scientific and technological progress and the
transition to a new model of technological
development in the country [3].
According to the viewpoint of Florida, the
founder of the “creative class” theory, creativity
depends on the environment that supports it, as well
as on a wide range of social, cultural and economic
factors [4]. Creative class helps attract new
principles both to work and to everyday life.
Members of this class uphold the new values of the
younger generation. Representatives of the creative
class are distinguished by mobility, flexibility, self-
education, “new” workplace, and leisure as work,
social participation, active recreation and interest in
street culture [4]. Throsby draws attention to the fact
that along with assessing the contribution of the
creative class to the development of the creative
economy, the issue arises of determining the
contribution of creative industries to GDP [5].
Creative goods have no monetary value, although
they certainly have intangible value to the society.
The author has also proposed the structural
construction of the creative industry on the basis of
substantiation of the concentric model with four
circles, the core of which involves classical cultural
activities (music, literature, performing and visual
arts) [6]. According to the opinion of Harrison &
Huntington, cultural differences are the reasons for
the underdevelopment and prosperity of countries
[7]. Some cultural features contribute to the
modernization of the society, while others, on the
contrary, hinder the economic development of the
country. Thus, in order to build a creative economy,
investments should be made in culture and art and
towards increasing the country’s human capital.
Kalenuk & Kuznetsova have identified the basic
features of human capital development, the
formation of its new quality in the creative economy
[8]. Versal & Tereshchenko interpret human capital
as the basic factor of the creative economy, the
development of which depends on the level of
development of education and science in the country
[9]. Shaulska, Karpenko & Doronina have proposed
a model of multilevel innovation policy in which the
creative economy is presented in the context of
capitalization of human potential based on the
principles of social responsibility (state, business
and the individual), innovation, regularity and
inclusion (gaining accessibility and stimulating an
increase in the degree of participation of all citizens
in the society [10].
Examples of policies designed for creative
industries are common occurrences in the world
[11]. Gasparin and Quinn have developed a new
policy model for creative industries in transition
economies INCITE (Innovation and Creativity in
Transition Economies), which includes four
components, namely: education and human
resources, infrastructure, intellectual property rights
and the freedom of expression [12]. Some scholars
have considered the features of human capital
formation in various subsectors of the creative
economy, in particular: architecture [13]; design
