Becker er þekktur fyrir grein sína frá 1962 um Human Capital og áhrif menntunar á afkomu þjóða, hér tekur hann þemað upp aftur: Presents proposals for upgrading labor force quality in the United States in order to promote economic growth and establish a strong position in international markets. Importance of human capital to economic development; Education and training of workforce; Strengths and weaknesses of human capital; Reorientation of immigration policy to admit more younger, skilled workers. Education and other human capital are important in promoting economic growth and a strong position in international markets. The U.S. needs to upgrade its average labor force quality. This paper presents a number of proposals to accomplish this goal that would not require a lot of public spending but would better prepare the U.S. for a world emphasizing information and skills as well as stiffer competition from other countries.
