THE HUMAN CAPITAL IN THE UNDERPRIVILEGED MOUNTAIN AREAS OF BIHOR COUNTY

Abstract

The current study captures the quantitative and qualitative features of the human capital in Underprivileged Mountain Areas from Bihor county, from the perspective of the human component that plays a major role in the preservation and development of these areas, both from natural and human point of view. The planned study focuses on the quantitative features (the number of population and the exerted pressure) and the qualitative ones (age and gender group structures, employed population and its distribution on branches of activities, the level of education) analysed for the year 2011 (data provided by the latest census). The analysis of these parameters highlights the fact that, from the human capital perspective, The Underprivileged Mountain Area corresponds to the demographic state of the county and the risk of depopulation is not poignant at the moment.
