3. What is Human Capital
the skills, knowledge, and experience
possessed by an individual or population,
viewed in terms of their value or cost to an
organization or country.
Human capital is the stock of habits,
knowledge, social and personality
attributes embodied in the ability to
perform labour so as to produce economic
value. Human capital is unique and differs
from any other capital. It is needed for
companies to achieve goals, develop and
remain innovative.
4. Skills affect people's lives
and economic and
social development in many
ways. ... Skills are also key to
tackling inequality and
promoting social mobility.
Investing in human capital is
the single most effective way of
not just promoting growth but
also of distributing
its benefits more fairly.
Human
capital affects economic
growth and can help to develop
an economy by expanding the
knowledge and skills of its
people. ... The skills
provide economic value since a
knowledgeable workforce can
lead to increased productivity.
One of the biggest impacts of
long-term growth of a country
is that it has a positive
impact on national income and
the level of employment, which
increases the standard of living.
As the country's GDP is
increasing, it is more productive
which leads to more people
being employed.
