Abstract. The article explains the use of the human capital sustainable development index (HCSDI) to assess the quality of the reproduction of human capital. The paper provides the algorithm for calculating HCSDI and its components. Authors estimated cross-country differences of HCSDI and developed econometric model of the impact of corruption on HCSDI. The use of this model has allowed to reveal the mechanism and assess the impact of corruption on HCSDI and its components. The results of econometric analysis revealed a negative multiplier effect: an increase in the corruption of the socio-economic system of the state by 1% caused HCSDI reduce by more than 1%. The results and conclusions may be proxy-assessments of the socio-economic consequences of violations of the stability of reproduction of human capital in the conditions of the growth of corruption in the country.

The article discusses the main features of the fourth industrial revolution and its impact on the transformation of the labor market and the transition to a new paradigm of education. Authors analyze new requirements for the graduates competence and modern world educational trends. Much attention is paid to strengthening of the project nature of education, blurring the distinction between traditional technical and humanitarian education. Moreover, the authors examine the shift of engineering work with its basic elements – invention, engineering, and design in the field of technical engineering in the area of economic, financial, social, cultural, anthropological design. This requires the creation of new interdisciplinary courses, the revision of the classical approaches to engineering and humanitarian education. The article explores the personalization of the educational trajectories, artificial intelligence as a teacher, e-learning technologies and simulators, information educational environment.

Information technologies have offered new possibilities of the development of the market of tourist services and led to the creation of various client oriented information systems in the museum business. Museums have started to introduce information technologies in the sphere of accounting, storage and research into collections, to use multimedia, which include both traditional static visual information and dynamic information (such as speech, music, video footage and animation). TicketNet has helped greatly to attract more visitors. QR-codes revolutionized the museum business. Nowadays all museums have their own websites and experts believe that the number of virtual visitors will exceed the number of real ones in the near future. Therefore, scientists face a new problem of researching both negative and positive consequences of cultural heritage transfer into virtual reality.
