In the recent years, human resources have increasingly been regarded as capital or “human capital”. This trend reflects the ability of human resources to enhance their value and create a higher economic result, both for the separate economic subjects, and within the borders of territorial systems. The objective of the present study is to trace the changes in some quality characteristics of human capital in the region of Stara Zagora in the last five years. To realize this objective, we have applied the method of surveying people in working age by including questions related to improving qualification, motivation, innovativeness and talent of the respondents in the survey conducted in February-March of 2020. The survey results identify some problematic aspects of human capital and create the need for additional large-scale research on the separate regions of the country.
