Abstract

This paper first organizes the development process of human capital theory and the improvement process of the definition of human capital, emphasizing the importance of human capital in economic and social development, then summarizes the existing methods of human capital measurement and existing defects. After that, it discusses the application of human capital from two perspectives of economic growth and technological innovation. It is concluded that human capital is one of the important factors of economic growth and can explain individual differences. It is imperative to incorporate human capital into the national accounts system. It points out that the study of urban human capital is a hot spot. It's necessary to pay attention to the relationship between human capital informationization and enterprise innovation, and prospects for future research.
