Abstract: The progress, the growth and the development are concepts related to the intrinsic qualities of the existing productive factors, either in the regional or national perspective. Therefore, the theory of the human capital launches the idea that low levels of scholarship do not show great profits per capita, nor glimpses significant incremental improvements in the performance of the people. In this study it is analyzed the school qualifications of the active population by sector of economic activity and the gross value added of the Euroregion Galiza - North of Portugal. With particular incidence, labour productivity index are focussed, in an input-output analysis perspective of the productive process, during 1995-2002 period.

O progresso, o crescimento e o desenvolvimento são conceitos ligados às qualidades intrínsecas dos factores produtivos existentes, quer na perspectiva regional ou nacional. Por isso, a teoria do capital humano lança a ideia de que baixas taxas de escolaridade não potenciam grandes ganhos per capita, nem vislumbram melhorias incrementais significativas no desempenho das pessoas. Neste estudo analisa-se a relação entre os níveis de habilitações escolares da população activa empregue por sector de actividade económica e o valor acrescentado bruto da Eurorregião Galiza - Norte de Portugal. Com particular incidência focam-se os índices de produtividade do trabalho, numa perspectiva de análise input-output do processo produtivo, durante o período 1995-2002.
