Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2009, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
Human capital as one determinant of a long term economic growth is often identified with school education. In this paper, the dependency of the total percentage of population in all types of education on the GDP, in all EU15 countries as well as EU25 is demonstrated. The paper also focuses on the spatial aspect of undergraduate education on the level of states as well as NUTS2 as a whole; and also on the university education in technical fields, mathematics, science and technologies that can eliminate overall economic lagging of Europe.
