Performance Evaluation Of Human Capital Operation In Minority Regions

It has been an essential strategic choice to promote human capital in order to win the international competitions at the age of multi-polarization and globalization. Human capital's pivotal function in process of the economy growth has been proved by the human capital theory and the economical development practice. Human capital is the essential element in the growing of regional economy so that the level of human capital in one area becomes one of the motives which determines the development of this area. The fundamental task is to promote social-economic development in minority regions in the new era. Human capital is the first capital for the long-term social-economic sustainable development. Human capital does not automatically generate and accumulate, nor does it automatically run more efficiently to produce a powerful social and economic development driving force.While turning potential productivity into real productivity, human capital must experience the process of operations such as investment, mobility, allocation and protection, each of which is full of uncertainty, so the whole process needs to be managed from the optimal using of human capital to establish the framework of accommodating policies.From the perspective of human capital operations, there are some problems in minority regions, such as deficient investment, irrational allocation, lacking of protection measures. They are main reasons for lack of talents, huge unemployment, increasing disadvantaged groups in minority regions. It is vital to speed up human capital operation in minority regions to narrow the gap and to strengthen the nation consciousness, civil consciousness, maintain stability and promote the national unification. It is also the only way to achieve leapfrog development and long-term stability.The dissertation is composed of the following six parts in detail:The first chapter, the introduction part, presents the research background and significance and summary of theories to lay the foundations for the study. It mainly reviews the theory of human capital theory at domestic and abroad, and research development of human capital operation, especially focuses on human capital study issues in the minority areas, and summarizes the result of theoretical research and empirical research results.The second chapter aims to present the key concepts and theories in this paper. First, several concepts are defined involved in this article.
