Human capital, which is defined as an investment in human beings, is important in terms of economic development. In the changing and developing world, it is seen as an important tool for economic growth as well as social development. For this reason, the subject of human capital is an area that attracts the attention of academics. In this study, the performances of E-7 and G-7 countries on human capital have been tried to be measured. In this context, the variables that are thought to affect human capital for countries were evaluated using the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) technique. In addition, Spearman's rank correlation analysis was applied to determine the relationship between TOPSIS an HDI (Human Development Index) rankings. From the analysis results, it was determined that the country with the highest human capital performance was the USA, and the lowest country was India. In addition, as a result of investigating the relationship between the ranking made by the TOPSIS method and the ranking of HDI, it was determined that the rankings overlapped with each other in accordance with the expectation. In other words, it has been concluded that the human development of countries with high human capital performance is also successful.

İnsana yapılan yatırım olarak tanımlanan beşeri sermaye, ekonomik kalkınma açısından önem taşımaktadır. Değişen ve gelişen dünyada, beşeri sermaye ekonomik büyüme yanında ekonomik gelişme için de önemli bir araç olarak görülmektedir. Bu nedenle beşeri sermaye konusu akademisyenlerin ilgisini çeken bir alandır. Bu çalışmada, E-7 ve G-7 ülkelerinin beşeri sermaye üzerindeki performansları ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda ülkeler için beşeri sermayeyi etkilediği düşünülen değişkenler TOPSIS tekniği kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca TOPSIS ve İGE (İnsani Gelişmişlik Endeksi) sıralamaları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek için Spearman'ın Sıralama Korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Analizden elde edilen sonuçlara göre; beşeri sermaye performansı en yüksek olan ülkenin ABD, en düşük olduğu ülkenin ise Hindistan olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca TOPSIS yöntemi ile yapılan beşeri sermaye sıralaması ile İGE sıralaması arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi sonucunda, sıralamaların beklendiği gibi birbiriyle örtüştüğü tespit edilmiştir. Diğer bir deyişle, insan sermayesi performansı yüksek olan ülkelerin insani gelişiminin de başarılı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
