Ecosystem of human capital reproduction in the digital economy: methodological approaches to research

The article introduces a new multidisciplinary concept «ecosystem of reproduction of human capital (network human capital)» into scientific circulation. New directions of research of the ecosystem of reproduction of human capital in the digital economy have been identified. Based on the method of bibliometric analysis, clusters are identified and the relationship of the main terms used in modern scientific literature on the topic of educational ecosystems, such as innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurial ecosystem, university ecosystem, is revealed. It is concluded that the new multidisciplinary concept of «ecosystem of reproduction of human capital» deepens and expands the boundaries of the subject and field of research, deepens the categorical content and makes more diverse forms of human capital in the modern digital economy

Keywords: ecosystem, human capital, methodology, digital economy, networks, universities, clusters
