Special Issue on Human Capital and Economics

Human Capital and Economics is a field of study that examines how individuals’ knowledge, skills, education, health, and experience contribute to economic productivity, income distribution, and long-term growth. Rooted in economic theory, it views investment in education, training, and health as forms of capital accumulation that enhance labor efficiency and innovation. Research in this area explores the links between human capital formation and outcomes such as employment, wages, technological progress, inequality, and national competitiveness, as well as the role of public policy in fostering inclusive and sustainable economic development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Human Capital and Economics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Demographic economics and population dynamics
