Economic growth can be measured by the movement of gross domestic product, most often observed at the level of one calendar year. Economic growth is the ratio of GDP and domestic population, and refers to the output expressed in terms of monetary units, that is, the products and services produced within a year. There are many factors that influence economic growth, most important being human resources, natural resources, capital accumulation and technology. In today's information society, technology and human resources are paramount. They have the highest attention and are increasingly grasping their importance in economic growth. There have been many theories of economic growth in the past, and today many theories rely on them. Theories and models based on externalities, research and development, and odd models emerged from this. They relate to learning through work, research and development (in order to increase knowledge), and the importance of capital and production. Recent research is increasingly addressing the importance of human capital for economic growth, highlighting investment in education, and believes that this leads to the creation of human capital that can make a greater contribution to economic growth of a nation. This professional thesis aims to determine the importance of human capital for economic development. This is determined by analyzing education and employment data, and establishing the link between the quality of human capital, education and economic growth.
