Factor Analysis as an Alternative Approach to Measurement of Human Development
Original language description
The alternative indicators are increasingly used for measuring the socio-economic level of individual economies. One of them is the Human Development Index, which measures this level not only by GDP per capita, but also trough the indicators in the field of education and healthy life. This index was originally designed for comparing the level of human development in the economies as a whole. Because of differences in this development are not only at the national level, it is an effort to measure them also at level of regions. The aim of this article is, using the quantification of regional human development, to determine the most significant indicators of human through factor analysis. The regions of the Visegrad Group countries at NUTS II level were selected for this purpose. The research was made in the period from 2004 till 2013. There is initially set the assumption that the most important factor of human development is economic level, measured by gross domestic product per capita. It was not confirmed and was found that the most important role is played by another factor, namely lifelong learning.
