Among the investments in the human capital we can identify investments in education and training, migration,
and some current living expenses, such as those for accommodation, food, clothing, supplies and so on.
An OECD (2014) study shows that “attending a supplementary year of average education amplifies economic
development with a percentage of 5 % and with a percentage of 2.5% on a long term”. An additional educational
year also raises the level of average wages by about 6.5%. Records have also shown that unemployment rate
decreases proportionally with the levels of higher education reached, reducing additional social costs involved. We
may conclude that employment rate increases proportionally with the level of education achieved.
Regarding education, we should take into consideration that investments ensure a future update of material
resources, in the context of reorganizing the whole economic, social and cultural activity.
In this particular context, the main objectives for the investment policy in the educational field must provide the
development of the technical and material educational resources, an improvement in the quality of education and an
increase of the social impact of education.
