Abstract

Historical phenomenon of human capital is being discussed through centuries. This important pillar in socioeconomic development is necessary to be monitored, analyzed, and debated by every country. So is for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The chapter tries to explain human capital from students’ perspective in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The current situation of human capital in Bosnia and Herzegovina is investigated and discussed. Based on the theoretical background, the study explores the main pillars of human capital depicted by an exploratory case study of students population, from the International University of Sarajevo. Several exciting insights were derived from the research, which are elaborated further as the study implications, recommendations, and the future work. Limitations, as well as other study phenomena, are also discussed.
