DESENVOLVIMENTO HUMANO E TAXA DE RETORNO DA EDUCAÇÃO.

This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between human development and education. We particularly try to empirically investigate the effect of human development, measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) of PNUD (Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo), on the rate of return to education on federal level. Finally, we will discuss some public policy implications for Brazil based on the statistical evidences found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
