The Institutional Trap of the Reproduction of Intellectual Capital

Purpose of the study. The inability to avoid digital segregation in access educational technologies and content at level individuals, families, communities, states plunges entire nations peoples into an institutional trap (lock-in effect) reproduction intellectual capital. To understand degree immersion such trap, it is necessary search for appropriate indicators develop a new index based on them, which would increase ability UN Human Development Index reflect development society, considering realities fourth technological revolution. Materials methods. One essential parts composite “Education universal development”, includes quantitative indexes as average duration education expected population. Unfortunately, these do not give idea quality provided: availability modern technologies, accessibility latest content, interactively change national possibility using information communication education, more. “Digital education” index, proposed by authors, closely related all index” expands its scope including individuals with higher who can form core research future specific country. Results. insignificant fact uncontrolled migration individual carrier some particle capital creates problem much more systemic than simple “brain drain”. countries from brain drain occurs only lose gifted associated them but also reproduce joint nation within In conditions open borders general globalization, there are one-sided transfer funnels that allow holder leave donor country be integrated scientific production structure recipient without any obstacles. At same time, reverse movement capital, rule, impossible. authors describe mechanism funnel during (individual national), triggers positive feedback prevents increasing forms Conclusion. continue work optimizing supplementing set inclusion establish weight index. questions follows: indicators, formation sufficient identification correlation dependencies establishment close relationship between hypothesis about unevenness expert assessment establishing determining method aggregating
