| | Human capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Human capital is substitutable: it will not replace land, labor, or capital totally, but it can be substituted for them to various degrees and be included as a separate variable in a production function. | | | Human capital is a way of defining and categorizing peoples' skills and abilities as used in employment and otherwise contribute to the economy. | | | Thus, human capital is a stock of assets one owns, which allows one to receive a flow of income, which is like interest earned. |

| | Human resources - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Advocating the central role of "human resources" or human capital in enterprises and societies has been a traditional role of socialist parties, who claim that value is primarily created by their activity, and accordingly justify a larger claim of profits or relief from these enterprises or societies. | | | An important controversy regarding labor mobility illustrates the broader philosophical issue with usage of the phrase "human resources": governments of developing nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration or "guest workers" as appropriating human capital that is rightfully part of the developing nation and required to further its growth as a civilization. | | | A contrary view, common to capitalist parties, is that it is the infrastructural capital and (what they call) intellectual capital owned and fused by "management" that provides most value in financial capital terms. |

| | LiNE Zine Spring 2001: Human Capital Advantage: Developing Metrics for the Knowledge Era |
| | Human capital represents a huge operating cost that must be managed efficiently because of its sheer magnitude; in the United States, for example, nearly 70% of all operating costs are ultimately attributable to people. | | | And finally, because human capital cannot be owned, spending on the development of people does not meet the traditional accounting concept of an investment, since employers cannot control the asset, i.e., the people in whom an investment is being made. | | | Precisely because measurement and accounting practices associated with human capital are remnants of the industrial era, the measured costs are only a portion of the total costs. |

| | From this perspective, investments in human capital are understood to be the result of individuals' calculations about the likely return on their investments at some future point. | | | HUMAN CAPITAL RESEARCH, UNDERSTOOD AS THE STUDY OF "...ACTIVITIES THAT influence future monetary and psychic income by increasing the resources in people" (Becker, 1964: 1), is manifestly relevant to a range of policy and problem areas that are vital to the nation's future. | | | In addition, there will be considerable value in simply providing an inventory of the human capital assets of communities, and relating these to the structure of economic opportunities in them. |

| | Counting Human Capital |
| | Investment in human capital accounts for at least 10% of national income in most OECD countries when account is taken of public and private spending on initial education as well as spending by individuals and enterprises on post-school training. | | | But rates of return of investment in human capital are generally measured in a very restrictive way, by comparing the additional earnings from employment of better-educated individuals to the additional social cost of investing in more education. | | | It is important to situate investment in human capital in a broad tutional and social context. |

| | Human Capital |
| | Imperfections may favour investment in physical rather than human capital because human capital is embodied in the individual and this means in the case of default, the financial institution has no collectable collateral on a loan. | | | More young people tend to invest in human capital, but, due to their lower credit ratings and lower set of collateral assets, fewer funds are made available by financial institutions for their investment in human capital. | | | A second implication is that the government may attempt to offset capital market imperfections by subsidising education or by providing human capital loans [2]. |
