Abstract

The article discusses some of the problems and prospects of studying human potential of the population of Tuva, as well as its development. The authors review the published books and papers on this topic, as well as the opinions of experts from public institutions, the fields of academy and research, and from among the ethnic and cultural representative unions (16 people all in all). Interviews with experts were recorded in Kyzyl from December 2020 to January 2021.

The richness of studies in the field proves the interest Tuvan scholars take in the issue and certain success they have attained. However, not infrequently their studies do little more than provide a conceptual definition of human development. Often, there is a confusion between various ideas related to human capital. Lastly, there is no common direction among the studies, and authors carry out research completely on their own, there are no systematic and integrated approaches.

Expert opinions build on research outcomes, expanding the research field to reveal a number of issues yet unstudied. It is obvious that the classical human potential index and its components will not show the specifics of this region and must be modified to include ethnocultural factors. While discussing the problems of a region’s social and economic development, we should look beyond the general social and economic processes and phenomena to discover the individual with their needs of education, jobs, healthcare and socially active life.
