Human and social capital in conditions of intelligent and inclusive growth

Abstract. Factors enabling the achievement of intelligent and inclusive growth in the European Union put emphasis on the relations between knowledge economics, education and knowledge and cohesive society. Economic and social development is predominantly achieved by means of knowledge factors, which implies the preference of solidary way to knowledge society. Our presumption is based on the fact that technical, technological, information and communication changes related to knowledge economics lead towards changes in the orientation of production, and subsequently to social changes. Social investments, mainly focused on the human resources development, are retroactively a significant source of long-term economic prosperity and of economic and civil society dynamism. Current research has raised new questions about how to set the respective policies in order to enable potential maximization in economic growth and social development.
