Humán erőforrásaink a 21. század első negyedében
Hungarian Human Resources In The First Quarter Of The 21St Century

Summary/Abstract: After briefly introducing the purpose of the volume and its studies, this introductory article reviews the most important characteristics that indicate the situation of domestic human resources. First, it gives a glimpse of the state of the economic environment, showing the development of GDP per capita lagging behind the environment, and – on the contrary – the speed of wealth concentration. The paper then reviews the fundamental factors determining human resources: the demographic characteristics of the population, fertility, the number of births and deaths, and the population trend and life expectancy at birth. After that, it examines some parameters of education, such as the average number of years of schooling per capita, early school leaving, and discusses the relationship between education and employment. Finally, the article illustrates the situation of Hungary’s human resources with two complex human development indicators. Both the HCI (Human Capital Index) and the HDI (Human Development Index) show that we are continuously lagging behind due to our slow development. The work concludes that the end result is a country where human resources are eroding and the world is passing it by.
