Resumo: The development of contemporary societies, strongly promoted by the so-called knowledge society, builds its pillars on the development of technology and the importance of networks of production and diffusion of knowledge. Concepts such as innovation and human creativity are the levers of the new creative dynamics of development and play a leading role in all dimensions of life, both social and economic. In this study we start from the principle that human capital is crucial in building, both national and regional, a better educated, more innovative and intelligent society. To measure human capital, we use the variables available in the 2008 European Values Survey, both regarding the central concepts of human capital and other dimensions that we believe are central to this process. The results show a value of national human capital that is between the low and middle level of the scale, with significant regional differences. The results also show a significant relationship between human capital and the values that prioritize self-fulfilment and participation such as determination and independence and participatory commitment, essential conditions to foster a more plural and just society, with fewer social inequalities.

Conceitos como os de inovação e criatividade humanas são a alavanca das novas dinâmicas criativas de desenvolvimento e desempenham um papel preponderante em todas as dimensões da vida, tanto social como económica. Neste estudo, parte-se do princípio de que o capital humano é determinante na construção, tanto nacional como regional, de uma sociedade melhor formada, mais inovadora e inteligente. Para medir o capital humano, recorremos às variáveis disponíveis no European Values Survey para o ano de 2008, quer contemplando os conceitos centrais de capital humano, quer outras dimensões que julgamos centrais neste processo. Os resultados revelam um valor de capital humano nacional que se situa entre o nível baixo e médio da escala, com diferenças regionais significativas. Mostram também relações significativas entre o capital humano e os valores que priorizam tanto a autorrealização e a participação como a determinação e independência e o compromisso participativo, condições essenciais para fomentar uma sociedade mais plural, mais justa e com menos desigualdades sociais.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaDuque, Eduardo2017-10-25T16:40:42Z20172017-10-05T14:17:45Z2017-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/23224engDuque, Eduardo.
