The article is devoted to the contradiction in the measurement of human capital. Different approaches to the measurement of human capital are analyzed. Basic methods of measuring and estimating human capital are shown. The author indicates some contradictions and problems: 1. There are different views concerning the costs of investments in human capital and consumer expenditures that ensure the current reproduction of labor or the needs of a person; 2. The production of the HC presumes not only money, but also a significant contribution of its own labor to those to whom these investments are directed; 3. Most calculations of investments in the HC do not take into account costs that do not have a monetary equivalent. Accordingly, some controversies are revealed and the ways of solution of such controversies are proposed by author
