The aim of the study is to determine the impact of training highly qualified personnel on scientific and economic development. To achieve the goal of the study, the methods of logical, statistical, correlation analysis, as well as the matrix approach to positioning countries of the world are used. The article puts forward and proves the hypothesis of a significant positive impact of indicators characterizing the level of training highly qualified personnel on indicators characterizing the condition of scientific sphere and scientific results, as well as economic results of the country for selected advanced nations of the world successfully implementing an innovative model of economic development. For Ukraine, the hypothesis is not confirmed. The results of the correlation analysis of indicators in absolute measurement show that an increase in the number of people with a master’s and doctoral degree has a positive effect, contributing to an increase in the number of researchers, the number of articles in scientific and technical journals, the level of GDP, and research and development expenses. The average positive effect of the number of population with a doctoral degree on the number of patent applications of the corresponding country at the level of high-tech exports and the low positive effect of the population with a master’s degree on the number of patent applications of the corresponding country at the level of high-tech exports are revealed. The results of Ukraine’s positioning relative to other countries of the world, based on the matrix approach, demonstrate that in the plane of coordinates of the number of people who have a master’s and doctoral degree and indicators characterizing the level of economic and scientific development our country is in quadrants that characterize a low level of chances in economic and scientific development. This makes it necessary to improve the system of training highly qualified personnel.
