The Equitable Remuneration of the College Graduates in Poland According to the Human Capital Theory

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to make an attempt to estimate the remuneration equitable for a college graduate in Poland. The equitable remuneration should be enough to satisfy needs of the employees and their families as well. The youths, while starting the higher education, dream about the equitable remuneration after being graduated. Every man raises and extends capital for the whole life since the birth to the moment when he takes up a job. The rules according to which the human capital is paid are determined by the nature of the capital itself. The human capital is em-bodied in human resources. The capital is not an abstract idea and it has resources that enable to value the capital in monetary units. In the case of graduates the raised capital is the sum of capital-ized costs of living during the 24 years period and capitalized costs of the professional education during the 5 years period. The capital located in human is often dispersed as a result of illnesses, accidents, unemployment, wars or other random incidents. The employee’s human capital could also decreases as a result of the physical effort connected with the job and depends on time pass-ing. The salary should be the compensation of any loss in the human capital. What’s more, the size of the salary should be also the result of economic constant of potential growth implementation. Previous experiential research prove that the constant mentioned is about 8% per year. The theory of the human capital created by M. Dobija lets us measure the capital included in the youths. Thanks to the idea of the human capital we can also estimate properly the remuneration equitable for a college graduate in Poland, that was proved by consideration above.
