Abstract

Evidence on human capital’s long-run regional development in Europe is still relatively limited. For this reason, this chapter summarises some developments of human capital in the European regions over the last 200 years. It indicates that “the long shadow of history” plays an important role in the regional distribution of human capital. The most advanced regions were typically located in the core industrialised countries, whereas the lowest values of human capital were found in the periphery. Policy-makers need to take into account these geographical long-term structures and the vested interests of stakeholders and create a human capital-promoting environment to successfully improve human capital levels.
