Abstract

Os recursos humanos são um elemento essencial no desenvolvimento territorial. Quando os mesmos se caracterizam por um nível de formação elevado são potenciadores de uma série de efeitos que se revelam fundamentais no binómio coesão territorial-coesão social. Neste aspecto, a existência de instituições de ensino superior espalhadas pelo território permite a qualificação deslocalizada dos recursos humanos mas, por si só, não garante a fixação desses recursos nas diversas regiões. Assim, é objectivo deste trabalho proceder a uma análise de convergência espacial do conhecimento por via do estudo da evolução da percentagem da população possuindo um nível de ensino superior nos períodos decorridos entre os dois últimos censos em Portugal, i.e. entre 1991-2001 e 2001-2011. Mostra-se que, apesar de aquela percentagem ter subido apreciavelmente, o processo de convergência foi (muito) pouco significativo.
