Human resources, human capital, is the fundamental basis of any model of territorial social and economic development.
Among the active population of Gipuzkoa and the Basque Country in general, levels of unemployment and rates of activity are lower than the community average.
 

And along these lines, there is concern over the existence of certain collectives among which unemployment is concentrated:

  • women,
  • youth, and
  • people with few qualifications.

All this can provoke situations of exclusion from the labour market and social exclusion as is corroborated by the persistence of a nu-merous collective of persons in long term unemployment.
And, finally, the levels of education and the levels of training (adjustment to the needs of the market), are a fundamental element that go hand in hand with economic development of a territory: ex-istence of enterprising people, development and incorporation of new technologies (for production and organisation), professional training, etc. And, in short, achieve a greater degree of economic and social cohesion.
