Abstract

In the analysis of the human potential of employeer in modern Russia, the broad interpretation of human capital is used, in‑ cluding, in addition to educational characteristics, a more di‑ verse range of indicators. Human potential is considered as a set of basic personal characteristics (education, health, Inter‑ net), which are significantly influenced by leisure practices. On the basis of the concept of R. Stebbins the typology of modern leisure practices from the point of view of their influence on hu‑ man potential is offered. Based on the analysis of the data of the all-Russian survey conducted in October 2018 by the Institute of sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it is conclud‑ ed that leisure practices in modern Russian society that enshrine social differentiation. This is manifested in the fact that repre‑ sentatives of higher-status professional groups (entrepreneurs, managers, specialists) not only have better human potential than representatives of low-status professional groups (workers), but also more often they participate in such forms of leisure that contribute to the preservation and growth of human potential.
