Abstract: In today’s environment, the development of the country as a whole and of each individual territory in particular requires the development of new approaches to solving the problems of their effective management. Central to this process is the improvement of the efficiency of the use of all available resources, including human capital. The article deals with the measurement and monitoring of human capital in rural territories. The methodologies currently developed could not always take into account all human capital, but also included various systems of indicators that were difficult to interpret in the analysis. At the same time, the level of rural territories is not affected. Therefore, the aim of the study was to develop and test an approach to monitoring rural human capital (health, education, culture and sports) based on score-rating. The proposed approach includes the following stages: selection of the most significant indicators characterizing human capital; assigning points to each indicator; summation of scores by rural territories and by blocks; calculation of the integral score for all indicators for rural territories by summation; ranking rural territories based on results. The proposed assessment will enable monitoring of the formation and use of rural human capital and, on the basis of the results obtained, make prompt and timely management decisions for each territory individually.
