THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL MIGRATION ON THE QUALITY OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive systemic analysis of the relationship between processes of international academic mobility and the qualitative transformation of human capital. In the context of the transition to a post-industrial society and a knowledge-based economy, scientific and educational migration is considered not merely as the movement of individuals, but as a fundamental factor in the accumulation of intellectual resources and a key driver of innovative development in national systems. The author thoroughly examines the multi-level mechanisms through which migration flows influence the structure of professional and personal competencies, analyzes the risks associated with intellectual emigration, and substantiates the strategic necessity of transitioning to “brain circulation” models. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of human capital modernization in developing economies within the context of their integration into the global educational and scientific space.
