	Human capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human capital is a way of defining and categorizing peoples' skills and abilities as used in employment and otherwise contribute to the economy.
		In this view, human capital is similar to "physical means of production", e.g., factories and machines: one can invest in human capital (via education, training, medical treatment) and one's income depends partly on the rate of return on the human capital one owns.
		Human capital is substitutable: it will not replace land, labor, or capital totally, but it can be substituted for them to various degrees and be included as a separate variable in a production function.

		The term human capital thus refers to ambiguous combinations of these, and interactions with the welfare, education and health care systems can be modelled even past retirement - where, according to classical and neoclassical analysis, human capital must be zero, as no "labour", "employment" or "goods" are now involved.

	Counting Human Capital
		Moreover, the frequently-used operational definition of human capital as ‘skills and knowledge acquired in the course of initial education’ neglects other important aspects, not least non-cognitive or ‘cross-curricular’ abilities that are acquired outside formal settings but are nonetheless relevant to (for example) teamwork, problem-solving and civic responsibility.
