One of the key conditions for the successful development of modern states is human capital. The international approach to calculating the Human Development Index, developed within the framework of the UN Development Program, is unified and does not pay attention to the socio-cultural (ethnic) factor. To assess its significance, the authors of the article carried out a discursive quantitative and qualitative analysis of the "Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Republic of Tatarstan until 2030" and semi-formalized interviews with experts. The purpose of the article: to identify the significance, foundations and meanings of the ethno-cultural component of the human capital of the Republic of Tatarstan and how they are implemented in practice. The results of the study revealed the high focus of Tatarstan on supporting the ethno-cultural component of the region’s human capital. Such a component is considered to be an indicator of the quality and diversity of the cultural life of the people living in Tatarstan. The republican government aims to develop human capital by supporting creative initiatives, motivating the population to build up creative competencies. The positioning of the republic as a region with international peace and harmony is used by Tatarstan to attract highly developed human capital from other regions and investors to stimulate its development.
