Differentiation of human capital in Poland regions – analysis using the methods of multidimensional comparative analysis

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of analyzes concerning the assessment of disparities in humancapital level in the Polish regions. Methods of multidimensional comparative analysis has beenused such as a Czekanowski diagram and synthetic measure, built on the basis of Euclidean metricsand generalised distance measure (GDM). When selecting indicators, human capital was treated asa multifaceted phenomenon that includes such areas as: quality of workers, entrepreneurship, qualityof education and research, health and structural mismatches. The analysis was performed not onlyfor average values of the period 2004–2014, but also in dynamic way, that includes rankings foreach year.The results indicate the presence of a variation in the level of human capital between regions.Based on the Czekanowski diagram, five groups of regions that are similar in terms of the quality ofhuman can be distinguish. It seems that the greatest diversity is among the most developed regionsin terms of the analyzed phenomenon. In addition, the persistent gap between the capital city regionand the rest of the regions was confirmed. Analysis of order of regions through time showed a relativestability of the rankings. Despite this, it seems that the differences between the regions with thehighest and lowest levels of human capital tend to spread.
