Abstract

The paper describes the characteristics of human capital as the most important factor of economic growth. The problem of improving the quality of human capital in the conditions of the critical socio-­economic situation of families with children in the Russian Federation is raised. The review of the existing mechanism of social support for families with children is carried out and its inconsistency with the existing challenges is revealed. Based on legal and statistical analysis, proposals are formulated for the creation of a targeted benefit for children under 18 years of age and its inclusion in the system of compulsory social insurance.
