摘要：In this paper, taking the model of Arrazola and Hevia (Applied Economics Letters, 11 – 145-8, 2004) as a starting point, we propose a homogeneous measure of human capital of individuals, which permits interpersonal comparisons. This indicator has been set up for a sample of Spanish men and women and compared to the results obtained when using Portela's proposal to construct a human capital indicator (Economics Letters, 72, 27-32, 2001). It was concluded that both from a theoretical and empirical point of view, the properties of the index proposed in this article are better than those of Portela''s suggested measure.
