Miejsce inwestycji w rozwoju kapitału ludzkiego w budżecie województwa świętokrzyskiego

These days, human capital is becoming one of the key factors of socioeconomic development. The state, through actions and investments in a variety of areas of the economy, has a decisive impact on the level, development and shaping of human capital. The size and quality of the capital can principally be increased by the increase in outlays in the areas that influence it. The aim of the study is to show how the level of investments affects the development and shaping of human capital in the budget of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship in 2009– –2011. In the study, expenditures for such areas as education and upbringing, physical culture and sports and health protection in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship have been analysed. It was found that the share of expenditures connected with the shaping of human capital in the budget of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship is low, and the level of these expenditures became consistently lower and lower in the period under analysis. The low level of the analysed expenditures and unfavourable downward trend do not positively contribute to the development of human capital.
