Théorie du capital humain

The Théorie du capital humain (Human Capital Theory) suggests that investing in peoples’ education, skills, and health enhances their productivity and earning potential. Similar to physical capital like machinery, human capital improves an individual's ability to work, innovate, and contribute to the economy. This investment leads to higher income over time for individuals and drives economic growth overall. It emphasizes that education and training are valuable assets that increase a person’s value in the job market and promote societal development.
