The relationship between the human development and the level of innovative development of the economy

Abstract

Introduction. The relationship between the Human Development Index, life expectancy and the level of innovative development of the economy as a whole for the countries of the world and separately for 85 subjects of the Russian Federation is considered.

Materials and methods. The source of information for assessing the level of development of the innovative economy in the countries of the world was the Global Innovation Index for 2019, and in the regions of Russia – the data of the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia.

The Human Development Report 2020 published by the United Nations Development Program was used to obtain information on Human Development Indices in the countries of the world. The source of information on Human Development Indices in the regions of Russia was the Analytical Note “Human Development Index in Russia: Regional Differences”, published by the Analytical Center under the Gov-ernment of the Russian Federation in 2021. The source of information on the life expectancy of the popu-lation of 85 regions of Russia is the collections of Rosstat. Correlation and non-parametric analysis of variance was used to assess the relationship between the studied indicators.

Results. It is shown that the Spearman correlation coefficient between the Global Innovation Index (GII) and the Human Development Index (HDI) according to the data for the countries of the world is 0.905 (significance level – <0.0001), the correlation coefficients between GII and life expectancy, both average and separately for men and women, are quite high: 0.834; 0.794 and 0.852 respectively.

The correlation coefficient between the Innovative Economy Development Index (IEDI) and the HDI according to data for 85 regions of the Russian Federation is 0.578 (significance level is < 0.0001), the correlation coefficients between the IEDI and average life expectancy and separately for men are not statistically significant, but for the female population – 0.233 (significance level – 0.033).

Conclusion. In the world, with the development of an innovative economy, the Human Development Index is growing, which, in turn, accelerates the development of the economy. In the world, with the growth of the level of development of the innovative economy, the average life expectancy is growing.

In Russia, the relationship between the Human Development Index and the level of development of the innovative economy is rather linear, and the correlation coefficient between these indicators is much lower compared to the correlation coefficient for the countries of the world. In Russia, there is a significant positive correlation between the Innovative Economy Development Index and life expectancy only for the female population. © 2023.
