Productividad del capital humano para incrementar el ingreso per cápita de la población económicamente activa (PEA) a nivel nacional y regional: caso peruano período 2008 – 2015

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the degree of incidence of the productivity of human capital, taking into account the changes in the GDP with respect to the investments made by the government in the human resources that intervene in the production, as well as the incidence on the Total Economically Active Population (EAP) with a higher education level and the convergence of per capita income between the regions of our country. The twenty-four regions of Peru are studied for the years of 2008 to 2015.The research methodology is econometric, based on the extended Solow model and Convergence. The results show that human capital (sh ) is the main factor increases the income and reduces the income gap (convergence) between the different regions of Peru. Therefore, the policies of the central and regional government should be oriented towards improving human capital, a determining factor for the increase of the income and accelerating convergence.
