Abstract: The indicators that traditionally are used in economy to measure the human capital leave many shades that are within an ample concept of human capital. In this work, a new elaborated indicator is proposed. This is made for an ample sample of eighty four countries and remembers the formal and informal education, labour experience and health. The differences in the dowries of human capital of diverse European countries, the United States and Japan, taking care of each one of the indicators, are observed. Besides, a comparison of the indicator proposed with the traditional indices of human capital is made, examining its accuracy through the empirical evidence in a model of growth based on the one used by Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992). The results show that, with the proposed indicator of human capital, the explanatory power of the model is greater than with the traditional indicators.
