PEREZ-FUENTES, Dewin Iván e CASTILLO-LOAIZA, Jorge Leonardo. Human capital, theories and methods: importance of the health variable. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.52, pp.651-673. ISSN 2448-6183.
This work presents a literature review on the concept of human capital, showing the different measurement methodologies; the relation that it maintains with labor market and health, and some facts stylized on this matter in Latin America and several regions of the world. The classic school provided the first expositions; later they were formalized by Schultz, and from then on several authors continued the legacy. Empirical analyses demonstrated that the level of human capital is correlated positively with the health variable, and exhibits big differences at regional level, which favor Western Europe and North America.
