Veteran entrepreneurship as a mechanism for the circulation of human capital
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study conducted in the article provides grounds for arguing that veteran entrepreneurship should be regarded not only as an instrument for the economic reintegration of veterans, but also as a mechanism for human capital circulation, ensuring the renewed engagement of acquired professional, managerial, and social potential in processes of economic value creation. It has been demonstrated that the concept of human capital circulation complements the contemporary understanding of the circular economy by extending its principles to the use of veterans’ intellectual, professional, and managerial resources. The objects of circulation include both intangible and tangible economic resources, or assets, and veterans’ human capital, which acquires new economic significance through entrepreneurial activity and ensures the continuity of social and economic value creation. The circulation of veterans’ human capital should be considered a scientific category reflecting the process of transition, transformation, and renewed productive application of veterans’ knowledge, skills, experience, competencies, and socio-professional potential in the civilian economy following the completion of military service. The practical significance of the proposed approach lies in its potential use as a theoretical foundation for shaping public policy, developing veteran entrepreneurship, improving mechanisms for the economic reintegration of veterans, designing entrepreneurship support programmes, and integrating veterans’ human capital into Ukraine’s post-war economic recovery system.
