| Abstract: | Human resources are an essential element in territorial development. When these are
characterized by a high level of training, they also enhance a number of effects in
fundamental areas of binomial territorial-social cohesion. In this respect, the existence
of higher education institutions throughout the territory allows the spread of human
resources’ qualification but, by itself, does not guarantee the retention of these
resources in different regions. Thus, the objective of this paper is to undertake a
spatial analysis of convergence of knowledge through studying the evolution of the
percentage of population with higher education in the periods elapsed between the
last three censuses in Portugal. Although that percentage has risen appreciably, the
convergence is shown to be (very) insignificant |
