Considerations Related to the Evolution of the Main Indicators of Human Development in Romania

Abstract

The paper aims at carrying out an analysis
of the human development in Romania in
the 2008-2015 periods. In the first part of
our research, we presented a few
theoretical notions related to education,
investments in human capital and human
development, and subsequently, in the
second part we carried out an analysis of
the indicators concerning the schooling in
Romania in the analysed period. The most
important indicators of human capital are
the school enrolment ratio, the average
number of schooling years, the literacy
rate, and also the ratios of the active
population graduating from various types
of schooling. Out of these indicators, the
schooling years represent the most
frequently used variable in determining
the human capital stock.
