Artists supply the innovation engine in the arts with work mainly under contingent arrangements. This paper discusses the line between professional expertise and ordinary knowledge and skill that is harder to draw in some professions, like the artistic, than others. One of our main questions is a rather typical issue in professional theory as the question of who should define and regulate the professional's expertise and tasks, the society that needs the services, or the professionals who hold the expertise (Conference Title: WORKSHOP ON THE EFFECTS OF PROFESSION PREFERENCES AND REASONS FOR ARTISTIC PRODUCTION OF UNDERGRADUATES IN THE FIELDS OF MUSIC AND DANCE)

Music and art are two distinctive subjects which contribute towards the development of human interest in creating and upgrading human capital development.

Development of the culture, which is one of the factors that form the history of humanity, has enabled the development of humanity as well. Every society's own culture mingles its own culture to the world's richness and causes world's culture to change. As a result of these changes, national cultures and art of the societies that are in the process of globalization can be affected in a negative or positive way. Within this period, training conscious individuals and providing qualified music training in the period of formal education that ranges from pre-school time until university are needed. The success of an education programme regards to what extent the student can use what he/she has learned, produce and how he/she leads the society. One of the objectives of music training programme must be to raise the individuals who can perceive past-present and future, comment on them, keep up with the society in which they live, know universal type of music based upon their own...

The development of musical abilities and the space given to music education is determined by various factors. Disagreement in opinions about the role of some factors carries the danger of neglecting some activities that would contribute to the development of musical talent. In that sense, the aim of the paper is pointed at understanding the importance of hereditary and environmental factors for the development of musical abilities, with special emphasis on determining the activities of adults in the function of music education and achievement, but also overall development. Applying the method of theoretical analysis, a comparison of different conceptual approaches was performed, as well as of the results of the conducted research and the conclusions of the authors. After considering these issues, it is concluded that although debates about giving preference to certain factors still exist, there is no dilemma that innate and environmental factors are both important, but not in themse...

The concept of capital has been examined in the literature in its various aspects: financial, organizational, structural, social, relational, human, and intellectual. The paper aims to analyze the evolution of the concept of human capital, starting from the definition given at individual level; namely, human capital is closely related to genetics, education, experience and attitudes of a person. Education and training underpin the development of human capital in an organization, whether public or private. Looking at the ensemble education, human capital and welfare in organization, we see that theories of human capital influence the educational system and labour market. Economists call this process, capital formation, in order to improve productivity in the workplace. In the current society based on knowledge, human capital is one of the engines of economic development. Thus, this intangible capital aims to bring added value to an organization, especially at the top and middle management level. However the term human capital is defined not only by the level of education of the individual, but also by the acquired specific knowledge or experience in the previous job. Using literature review, the paper identifies the elements of human capital, following the historical evolution of the concept, as there is no common definition of human capital, most referring to knowledge, skills, competencies and attributes embodied in individuals, in order to facilitate the creation of personal, social and economic welfare. Further, through Eurostat database, the work explores the relationship between education and the labour market, both at European Union level and in particular for Romania, using indicators such as: the employment rate, education level, number of graduates with higher education, research and development degree.

Human capital is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "the skills the labor force possesses and is regarded as a resource or asset.". It encompasses the notion that there are investments in people (e.g., education, training, health) and that these investments increase an individual's productivity.

Abstract Human capital has long been recognized as a crucial determinant of economic development.

Today, human capital theory dominates the study of personal income. But this has not always been so. In this essay, I chart the rise of human capital theory, and compare it to the rise (and fall) of eugenics. The comparison, I argue, is an apt one. Eugenics and human capital theory both focus on isolated traits of individuals.
