ย Abstract:
Human capital represents the knowledge, skills and characterisยญtics of an individual that facilitate the creation of personal, social and ecoยญnomic well-being. Measuring, analyzing and subsequently developing huยญman capital is a prerequisite for the regionโs prosperity. Human capital is a set of human abilities and skills that has a direct impact on the potential of social activity. Measuring and monitoring human capital development is an important part of regional policy. This process is complex because huยญman capital is a qualitative characteristic of man. The links, correlations and causal links between the different sets of human resources data are identiยญfied. The assessment of human capital levels must be based on many quanยญtitative indicators. This paper evaluates the development of human capยญital in Slovakia using an aggregated, composite indicator. The composยญite indicator is constructed using selected weighted indicators. By applying more complex multidimensional statistical methods, the assessed indicaยญtors are aggregated into a composite indicator, and its development is then evaluated.
