10.2. HUMAN CAPITAL NOTES
Better use of human resources is a key factor in countries’ economic growth and competitiveness. The
transition of young people to the labour market and its relationship to education and employment, and also the
evolution of the educational levels and human development are complex phenomena of great social and
economic relevance. Bancaja has commissioned the Ivie to conduct studies which provide fresh insight into
these issues. Through the publication of the Human Capital Notes, Bancaja offers up-to-date information on
this significant problem for the youth of the Valencia region.
The available knowledge is made easy for everyone interested in this subject, as these publications are intended
to be used as work material for teachers and the media. The writing of the educational contents takes into
account the appropriateness of the language for the readers, orientation to educational activities, accessibility
and frequency. In 2012, 8 Human Capital Notes were published. The following titles are available on the Ivie’s
website (http://www.ivie.es):
2012-133 Crisis y mercado de trabajo: una perspectiva regional
