2. The clear division of the world into two groups, one with rich and one with poor countries, has been increasingly accentuated throughout the last 50 years. This distribution of wealthis not due to the concentration of production factors, but rather to those related to knowledge. In OECD countries, income per capita has trippled, from 7,300 to 23,000 dlls; while in Latinamerica and the Caribbean it went from 3,000 to 6,200 dlls. In this way, the relation went from 40% to 25%.

15.  An analysis of the factors that impulse economic growth show that the increase in labour productivity accounted for at least half of the GDP increase per capita in most OECD countries.  Labour productivity can increase in many ways and human capital has a main function in this equation, not only as a factor that links production added to the stock of productive consumables, but also as one that determines the rhythm of technological progress. In the international context...

16. The PMETyC is an education policy instrument that responds to the demands of global economic integration, in which the creation of value, as well as the acquisition and conservation of competitive advantages, essentially depend on human talent. As a result:
