Within these groups, the prospects for changing the Human Development Index and other indicators involved in the analysis in the future have been considered. The article provides the regression models of the dependency of indicators and their correlation matrices for each group of countries. 3) The results of the study allowed the authors provide specific recommendations on the growth of Human Development Index for each country group separately. 4) Assessment of country’s human potential is one of the most important socioeconomic problems in contemporary science and practice.
