HUMAN CAPITAL ASSESSMENT IN SLOVAK REGIONS

Human capital represents the knowledge, skills and attributes of an individual that facilitate the creation of personal, social and economic well-being. The quality of human capital forms a fundamental platform for the future development of a region. Measuring and analysing the concept of human capital is a prerequisite for the future prosperity of the region. Currently, human capital is assessed using aggregated indicators at the national level. The aim of this paper is to develop a model for assessing human capital in the region based on available indicators. The statistical quantification of this relationship is based on official statistical indicators, which are aggregated using more complex statistical methods into a single index.
