Prospective innovante : le rôle central du capital humain dans le développement économique

Abstract

Human capital is a set of knowledge, skills and abilities held by individuals, and is a vital pillar of economic growth and innovation. This scientific paper explores the central role of human capital in the modern economy, focusing on its foundations, its underlying theories, and the crucial duality between cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The central question addressed is how human capital, as a key element of the knowledge economy, can be optimized to stimulate innovation and foster territorial development. It also explores the importance of human capital in territorial attractiveness, and examines the role of policy-makers in promoting it. By proposing visionary strategies for development through judicious investment in human capital, the article aims to provide fresh perspectives and informed recommendations to guide strategic decisions in a dynamic economic environment.
