The human resources situation of the Southern Transdanubian region with regard to regional competitiveness

At no time in history has competitiveness and economic growth been as important as it is nowadays. In this study I have analysed some of the most important factors at NUTS2 level in the Southern Transdanubian planning and statistical region. I have defined human capital, the basic skills according to the Memorandum, and studied the economic indicators, the economic activity of the population, the employment, education and qualification in Baranya, Somogy and Tolna counties. Finally, I have gathered the most important findings in a SWOT analysis.
