Jacob Mincer on Human Capital - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 512 Human Capital/Mincer: Mincer develops the human capital theory further.(1) He supplemented the existing regression analysis on the relationship between income and school education with his indicator for practical vocational training, which was the experience after school. This made possible to collect data on interest rates for school and vocational training. Thus, the skewness of income distribution in the various countries could be traced back to differences in talent, family background, inheritances and other assets (Becker and Tomes 1986).(2) Income differences could be explained by differences in education and vocational training (Mincer 1974) and the "gender gap" in income could be explained by the fact that women have a higher part-time employment rate than men and more often interrupt their employment in favour of their children. >Education, >Education policy, >Income. 1.
