Abstract

Many studies support the idea that human capital plays an important role in determining the rate of economic growth in a region. Considering that there are regional differences regarding the economic dynamism in Paraná State, this article analyzes the evolution of human capital in the regions of Paraná between 1999 and 2006. More precisely, we attempted to measure the stock of human capital within each micro Parana, characterizing the spatial distribution and its evolution. The results show an increase in human capital in the state, improvement in their quantitative and qualitative aspects, altough significant differences in their distribution along; Paraná remain. Compared to 1999, however, these disparities were significantly reduced.
