Abstract University and college graduates do not represent just a highly skilled workforce. They are holders of a high level of education and they serve also as a component of human capital that have a high potential for increase productivity, create new jobs and discover new innovative production processes. This contribution deals with the concentration and dispersion of the production of university and college graduates of master level studies in Slovak cities, as holders of a high level of human capital. Examined were 41 of 46 fields of master level studies, which were assigned to 6 groups of studies. Within the overall production of graduates, there was observed a dispersion of production, because during the observed time period, between 1997 and 2015, the competition between cities in generating graduates of master level studies has increased. Within the production of individual groups of studies, the evolution was not so clear. In some groups of studies, the production of master level graduates has concentrated over the observed period time, in other groups the production has dispersed and in one group of studies the situation has not changed.

Persistently high levels of unemployment among unskilled workers, as well as college graduates, have focused attention on manpower problems. High levels of unemployment may result from a deficiency of aggregate demand or from structural maladjustments in the manpower market. The latter problems generally emanate from changing technological patterns and shifts in the pattern of economic growth. While there are many socio-economic issues involved, it is generally recognized that problems of structural adjustment can be satisfactorily managed, in time, if a sufficiently high level of aggregate demand is maintained. Therefore, an initial concern in manpower planning is to accurately relate manpower requirements by occupation and level of education to anticipated levels of aggregate demand.

The issue of interrelationships between education, employment and the level of income evaluation is a cross-cutting nature, where the economic, social, political and legal levels are intertwined. Its broader context predicts its thematic coverage. The article presents preliminary results of the mutual relationship between acquired skills and the level of education achieved and the ability of the individual to become involved in the labor market. The aim of the article is to determine, using statistical and analytical methods, the correlation between the employment rate and the level of education attained in the EU countries and within the territory of the Slovak Republic. On the basis of the initial analysis the authors aim to answer the question if university graduates achieve higher incomes than secondary-educated people. Eventually they try to propose solutions and measures that are necessary for increasing the level and value of human capital, especially in the Slovak Republic.

Bringing employees to a high level of education and keeping them there permanently is one of the core tasks of human resource development. In principle, the question is whether to entrust one's training needs to external providers or to realise this central task oneself. Many companies have reacted to the existing training and further education needs of their employees by founding their own academy. The opportunity to ensure the value of the "human capital" itself seems too important. Often, company-owned academies are only available to the company's own employees, but in some cases they are also open to external interested parties. As part of a cooperation between Academy Würth and the DHBW Heilbronn, students of the HR focus examined the possibilities of company education management.

Using Data

Improving the quality of human resources through education is believed to increase laborproductivity. The higher the investment in education, the greater the potential for someone to gainknowledge, expand access to jobs, and increase productivity. However, the increases in the numberof educated workforces, truly unbalanced with the increase with aggregate productivity. Thepurpose of this study is to analyze at which one of the levels of education has the greatestcontribution to increasing productivity. In order to bring the research in macro level, we usedMincer equation calibrated by Bils and Klenow (2000) to develop a human capital model. Thiskind of research formed in micro level and very rarely research is done at the macro level.Therefore, by using calibration from Bils and Klenow (1992), this study tries to bring the mincermodel to the macro level. This model estimates by panel regression method and cointegrationmethod (for identification long run existence) and using data from the period of 2010-2018. Theresults of the study show a positive integration between the level of education towards workproductivity. The fact that vocational education is aimed at preparing workforce has no significanteffect on aggregate productivity. The result driven us to conclusion that education has not beenconsidered a human capital factor but signaling factor; schooling level of labor was not a drivenfactor to labor productivity, but the years of experience did and labor is tended to taking educationjust for formal reason not for academic reason.

The creation of a developed social infrastructure is one of the most important components in the formation and accumulation of human capital in the country. At the same time, the regions of the Russian Federation play a special role in this aspect. The main management decisions on the development of social infrastructure facilities in the territories are developed and adopted at the regional level. Today, there is a high level of differentiation of subjects in a variety of socio-economic indicators, including the main areas of social infrastructure. These areas include education, health, culture and sports, transport, housing, trade, etc. In this study, the author attempts to develop a methodology for forming a rating of regions based on data on the current state and dynamics of the main indicators of these areas in the regions. The main difference between the developed methodology is that it considers not only the current situation of the region in terms of social infrastructure, but also its development over the time period 2010–2018. The rating of the Federal subjects by the level of social infrastructure development was formed and presented based on the results of testing the methodology based on regional statistics. According to the analytical assessment of the rating, all regions of the Russian Federation can be divided into 4 groups: regions with high level, above average level, below average level and low levels of social infrastructure development. As a result, the author confirms the high level of differentiation of regions in this aspect of socio-economic development of the territory. This situation is largely determined by the financial capabilities of the subjects, the main directions of regional policy, geographical location, the state of the economic and social spheres, and others.

In Europe, Muslims are more likely to be unemployed than non-Muslims. Many studies try to explain this employment gap by human capital and contextual factors on the one hand, and by ethno-religious penalties (discrimination due to religious affiliation, religiosity, or migration factors) on the other. In these studies, it is normally assumed that human capital mediates the effect of Muslim affiliation, and that controlling for human capital will therefore reduce the odds for Muslims of being unemployed. We replicate the well-known study by Connor and Koenig (2015) along these lines, using the most recent and representative Swiss data from 2014 (N = 16,487). Our key result is that Muslim affiliation does not mediate, but actually moderates, the effect of human capital on unemployment. We find a powerful interaction in that Muslims both with a very low and a very high level of education are disproportionally often unemployed. This is important because it means that raising the human capital of Muslims will not automatically lessen, but may instead actually widen, the employment gap. We discuss possible theoretical mechanisms that might explain this finding.

The article summarizes the views economists on the role of education in the economic development of society. The proven leading role of education in the identification of society as a whole and of each individual is revealed specific historical conditions of development. In particular, the classics of economics emphasize that a person's income depends on his craft and qualifications. Ukrainian scholars have largely linked the country's economic development to the level of education its managers. The causal relationships between education and socio-economic development at the individual and social levels in the works of A. Marshall and G. Becker are analyzed. The influence education on economic development at the macro level in the scientific works scientists of the ХХ century is studied. The role of education in the transformation of scientific knowledge into technology is considered. The place and role education in the formation, reproduction and development of human capital are substantiated. Preservation and development of the knowledge base is possible only with a high level of education of the workforce and quality training, which is closely linked to the growth of investment in this area of the economy. Investments in education give the highest economic return and they also have great social significance for human development. The peculiarities of the impact investments in education and their economic efficiency are considered, including the growth of human capital and increase of labor productivity, increase of innovative opportunities of the economy, acceleration of knowledge transfer. Structural changes, economic growth, raising living standards largely depend on the level of education and quality of human capital. A country that is unable to use the potential of education and ensure the quality of population development will be at the bottom of global economic development. Today knowledge has become an independent factor of production, such as land, capital and labor. Without a society with a high level of education and intelligence, there can be no question of building a «new economy».

For the purposes of this study it was assumed that human capital is: knowledge, skills, competences and other features embodied in man, which are associated with his economic activity. The main purpose of this study was to identify the state and changes in human capital resources in northern Poland and to present their spatial diversity using hierarchical agglomeration techniques. The research concerned northern Poland, understood for the purposes of this study as two voivodships, i.e. the Pomorskie and the Zachodniopomorskie voivodeships, each divided into poviats. The source material came from the published and unpublished statistical materials of the Central Statistical Office. In turn, the resources of the Central Examination Board and the Regional Examination Boards in Gdańsk and Poznań were used to develop school educational results. The time range of the study was the years 1999–2018. The research clearly shows that the role of human capital resources in northern Poland is increasing. On the one hand this is the result of the growing number of people with the highest levels of education, and on the other the growing social awareness that increases in quality and living conditions largely depends on self-investment. The change in life attitudes of young people, who are increasingly gambling on achieving higher education, has been confirmed by the growing number of students and changes in education. In addition, the introduction to the higher education sector of non-public universities and the education of academic functions in sub-regional centers has increased the spatial accessibility to education, primarily for the residents of peripheral regions. However, the distribution of human capital resources in the studied area is characterized by relatively strong polarization with a distinct distance between the Tri-City and Szczecin agglomerations, which was confirmed by the classification of poviats using agglomeration techniques. The disparities in the level of education in northern Poland are to a large extent the heritage of the socialized sector in agriculture. Post-farming areas form depopulation areas with unfavorable socio-economic conditions, where parents attach less importance to the education of their children. However, the positive effect of the ongoing changes is the involvement of human capital with a high level of education in research and development activities. Research shows that regions with a higher level of education and socio-economic development are characterized by greater wealth expressed in terms of GDP per capita.

Unemployment is one of the economic problems in Indonesia. Judging from the level of education that was completed there were unemployment from the level of college graduates. This encourages the level of competition in getting jobs to be more stringent, so that college graduates (bachelor of Statistics in IPB) must have the preparation of various factors to maintain the quality of their graduates. The quality of college graduates can be seen from the length of time waiting to get a job. This study aims to determine the influential factors in getting a job for graduates of the IPB Statistics degree, so that the CHAID method can be used in this study. The results of CHAID's analysis in this study in the form of tree diagrams using α = 10% explained that the factors influencing the waiting period variables were sex, internship, and the ability to master statistical software, where the accuracy value generated by the classification model was 79.3 %.
