The article is aimed at studying the features of the relationship between economic development, human capital and information and communication technologies. The panel sample includes data for 87 countries for 2019. The study uses the World Bank approach to classify countries to groups by income levels. The relationships between the analysed indicators are determined by groups based on the calculation of correlation coefficients. In addition, the paper presents a detailed spatial and graphical analysis of the indicators distribution by groups. The research shows that there are differences between the groups, both in the strength of the relationship and in the distribution of human capital development, digital technologies and GDP per capita. The article also analyses the relationship between GDP and the components of human capital and digital development. The study confirms the heterogeneity of economic development across countries and regions, highlighting differences across groups of countries depending on income levels.

The article presents theoretical and practical issues of urbanization. The paper explores the theoretical concepts of regional development and their specific practical implementation. The statistical data on the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2019 and 2020 are analyzed. An analysis of the factors of urbanization in the regions of the country is made. The relationship between the processes of urbanization and population migration is shown. Regional differences in the level of urbanization of the cities of the republic are given. The paper notes that urbanization should not be an end in itself, but it is only a consequence of the effective distribution of productive forces. An example of the rational management of the urban environment should be a rational system of urban construction, public utilities, all infrastructure and the creation of a comfortable cultural environment. The paper proposes the development of rural entrepreneurship as an alternative. Correlation dependences of interrelation of urbanization with factors of migration, industrialization and economic growth are given. A model of the dependence of urbanization and these factors is proposed. The article also notes that urbanization for Kazakhstan may pose some threat due to the relatively low population density and the decrease in the population of remote settlements and uncontrolled migration of the population. It is necessary to continue researching the processes of urbanization of Kazakhstan in the direction of developing the theory in relation to the characteristics of a country with a low population density. In terms of practical recommendations, our research should provide some incentive to further control migration processes and increase the level of industrialization of the regions of Kazakhstan.
