Sustainable development of the society implies the presence of highly developed human capital, the necessary condition for the growth of which is the creation and maintenance of a decent quality of life, providing a modern and accessible social infrastructure for all segments of the population. One of the limitations of solving this problem is the objective uneven spatial distribution of economic and social resources throughout the country, which is most used in the regions of the Far East, which are characterized by a high differentiation of living standards and experiencing an outflow of the population. The search for an objective connection between the indicators characterizing the development of social infrastructure and the growth of human capital, as well as its adequate assessment, are the goal of this article. The article discusses the features of prevailing distribution of the population and human potential among the subjects of the Far-Eastern federal district. The statistical materials in the Khabarovsk territory analyze the dynamics and components of the Human Development Index, which is officially calculated by the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation. It was revealed that the reason for the lag of HDI in the region from the national average is associated with the low indicators of life expectancy. Based on the standard methodology using the index approach, an assessment is made of the relationship between the level of development of social infrastructure and the human capital index, as well as the human development index. As a result of the study, it was found that between the dynamics of human capital development and the level of development of the social infrastructure of the Khabarovsk territory there is a direct moderate link, supported to a greater extent by investments in the education infrastructure and, to a lesser extent, by healthcare. The limited substantive interpretation of the estimates obtained at the regional level is justified, which requires additional disaggregation and comparative comparisons at the municipal level.

The problems associated with the formation of a systematic approach to the formation of one of the most important factors of economic development - quality human capital are considered. The solution to this strategic problem - long-term and extraterritorial - is closely related to the effective functioning of a number of specialized structures that ensure its creation and reproduction. Such complex, called “social infrastructure”, simultaneously performs a number of economic functions of a short-term localized nature, which leads to the use of dual criteria and indicators for assessing its development: from the point of view of current consumption of the social services and from the point of view of prospective growth of human capital. The necessity of coordinating strategic and local goals when considering projects for the development of social infrastructure is shown. The stages of formation of human capital in accordance with the need for its support through the creation of each stage of the social infrastructure are highlighted.
