Competence, Education and Experience

2014

Human capital (HC) possessed by an individual is increased due to education and experience. HC is measured in terms of number of years spent on education and on work.

Diversity of human capital attributes and diversity of remunerations

Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
