Abstract:
|
Human capital is a phenomenon that can be examined within a statistical framework. This paper focuses on the U.S. Census Bureau Human Capital Management Information System (HCMIS) as a fundamental managerial and analytical tool to monitor ongoing human capital and to anticipate changes that may require review or adjustment to human capital. We address four areas: principles and standards for federal and statistical systems, the HCMIS as a management and analytical tool, understanding and measurement of human capital based on use of HCMIS in 2003--2007, and a human capital vision for the 2008--2013 period, which leverages talent and technology.
