Kapitał ludzki jako filar gospodarki opartej na wiedzy – analiza stanu regionalnego zróżnicowania w Polsce
Human Capital as a Pillar of Knowledge-Based Economy – an Analysis of the Regional Diversity in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study has been to assess the regional diversity in the level of the human capital inPoland and the changes that occurred in this regard over the period of 1999–2014. The results of our analyses can be summarised as follows. Regional differences in the level of human capital inPoland have grown but are still moderate. The causes of the increasing regional disproportions are the ongoing parallel convergence and divergence processes within the provinces, including ones which correspond to marginalisation. The leaders in terms of the human capital were the Province of Masovia (województwo mazowieckie) and Province of Malopolska (województwo małopolskie),which outdistance all other Polish provinces. The lowest level of human capital was determined in Lubuskie Province (województwo lubuskie), which is increasingly staying behind the rest ofPoland, a fact that may indicate dangerous marginalisation of this region.
