  • Human capital is the stock of skill and productive knowledge embodied in people of a country.
  • Investment in human capital yields a good return in future. Higher incomes can be earned because of higher productivity of the more educated or the better trained persons, as well as the productivity of healthier people. Not only do the educated and the healthier people gain through higher incomes, indirectly the society also gains due to the advantages of a more educated or a healthier population.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Human capital is human skills and resources that is measured in economic measurement.
It's really hard to put a number around human capital because it's really hard to be gauge and the actual results is very unlikely to be accurately projected

hope this helps
