However, the distribution of the population and, as a consequence, human capital across the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan is extremely heterogeneous and subject to constant changes. The purpose of this article is to identify regional specifics of the indicators of human capital in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article provides an analysis and assessment of the main indicators of human capital in the regions of Kazakhstan for the period 2010-2019. A typology of regions has been developed on the basis of the index method for assessing the level of human capital of the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The created spatial geodatabase of the human capital includes demographic, socio-economic and environmental indicators of human capital. As a result of the research, the relationship between the development of human capital and the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan regions was revealed.
