Human capital theory

Japanese: 人的資本理論 - じんてきしほんりろん(英語表記)human capital theory
Human capital theory
Capital is a commodity whose value can be increased through investment, and the concept of "human capital" applies this idea to humans as the investment target. In other words, it is the idea that the economic value of humans can be increased through investment. Human capital theory has been actively studied since the 1950s, particularly in the American economics community, and today it has become established as an important research field in economics. The important measure that determines a person's economic value is their productive ability and qualities, which are evaluated in the market in the form of wage rates.

Japanese:
資本とは投資によってその価値を増大させることのできる財貨であるが,この考え方を投資対象としての人間に適用したものが〈人的資本〉の概念である。すなわち,人間の経済的価値を投資によって高めることができるという考え方である。人的資本理論は1950年代以降とりわけアメリカの経済学界を中心に活発な研究が行われるようになり,今日では経済学の重要な研究分野として定着するようになった。人間の経済的価値を決める重要な尺度はその人の生産的な能力や資質であり,それは市場で賃金率の形で評価される。
