ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE CONDITIONS OF INNOVATIVE ECONOMY

The innovative economy was created, is being created and is developing jointly and in parallel with the growth of the quality and value of the accumulated intellectual potential, i.e. in parallel with the development of science, and intellectual human capital is the main factor in its development. And the accumulated high-quality intellectual potential serves as the main part of the foundation of the innovative economy sector, as well as the knowledge economy. The purpose of the study is to identify the main problems in the development of intellectual potential in the formation of an innovative economy. The study was conducted based on a system-structural-functional approach, a SWOT analysis of the development of intellectual potential of Kazakhstan was carried out.

The analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the intellectual potential of Kazakhstan allowed not only to show the positive sides, but also to identify the main shortcomings in the development of intellectual potential and problems in the formation of an innovative economy. The development of intellectual potential is hindered by the underdevelopment of infrastructure for education and research; inequality in the quality of education in urban and rural schools, national, regional and private higher education institutions; migration of talented people, mainly with technical education abroad in search of better opportunities.

Based on the results of the analysis, the system conditions for the formation of an innovative economy in a country where the formation of human capital with the corresponding intellectual potential is the main one are proposed.

The results of the study, in our opinion, will allow us to activate the formation of an innovative economy in the country, and the identified strategic priorities for the formation of intellectual potential will allow us to focus on those points that need to be developed in this context.
