The Importance Of Investing In Human Capital To Drive Scientific Research In Algeria

Abstract

This research paper aims to shed light on the extent of the contribution of investment in human capital to the development of scientific research in Algeria by studying its most important indicators, based on the results achieved and leading to the most appropriate proposals to activate it appropriately in order to ensure the quality of higher education institutions, on the one hand, and to achieve the advancement of societies on the other hand. All this through the establishment of an investment culture of human capital at the level of the Algerian university.

The study reached several results, the most important of which are the low spendings on research and development from the gross domestic product and the absence of researchers in private non-profit institutions. Also, Algeria is ranked 91^st globally, according to the Human Development Index, which is lagging behind.
