5 FOREWORD The past few decades have seen a revolutionary increase in interest in the economic role of education and training at the societal, business, and individual levels. This is mainly due to the strong post-war growth in industrialized economies, which has been driven by rapid technological progress and far-reaching structural change and, in the end, has resulted in increasingly skill-intensive production and growing demandfor more educated labour. Today it is frequently argued that with the increasing importance of the role of know-how, the workforce has become the most important single input in the production process. Simultaneously the dramatic increase in the availability of large micro-ievel databases has opened enormous possibilities to study the economic role of human capital creation also empirically. The economic perspective of human capital accumulation is, however, of utmost importance also in times of deep economic recession. Periods of economic slowdown and rapidly increasing unemployment tend to in crease the demandfor advanced education and training in particular. This brings up, in turn, questions regarding overeducation and satisfying both private and social retums on investments in human capital. The ongoing recession in combination with falling tax revenues has forced economies with large public sectors to decide on cutbacks and reallocations of educational expenses. But at the same time it may be questioned whether it is reasonable to undertake deep-going measures in order to improve the efficiency in education without having reliable information on the macro- and microeconomic effects ofthe vast resources annually expended on education and training. Investment in human capital at ali levels of the society is a question of generations, not of business cycles. With these points in mind a seminar on human capital creation in an economic perspective was held on May 14-15, 1992 in Helsinki. The main purpose of the seminar was to shed as much light as possible on the economic role of investment in human capital at the individual, firm and macroeconomic levels. Researchers, mainly from the Nordic countries, were invited to present theoretical and empirical results from their ongoing research projects in these particular fields. The papers presented at the seminar spurred lively discussions and have, hopefully, also stimulated the research on the important topic of human capital not least within and across the Nordic countries. Because of the wide scope of crucial human capital-related topics covered at the seminar, it was considered worthwhile to make this information available to a broader audience by publishing up-dated versions ofmost ofthe presentations given at the seminar. 1 am much indebted to seve rai persons for help in arranging the seminar and in produc ing this book. Pentti Vartia was the initiator of the project. John Rogers has checked and improved the language ofthe chapters by non-english speaking contributers. The final layout of the book was produced by Public Design Oy.
