Whoever controlling the high qulity of cn holds n invincible position in future development. Only tking n dvntge of, cn country or region hve in the world economic development, nd it lso cn promote sustinble development strongly nd fstly.this pper, bsed on the theory, building evlution system including 8 spects nd 28 trgets nd it used IMD dt of 2011 to syntheticlly evluted nd cluster nlysis 58 countries nd regions worldwide, thus it cn shows different countries nd regions current sitution nd chrcter of. Keywords: Competiti of humn resources, index system, IMD dt 1.Introduction The conception of Humn resources ws formlly rised nd definitely defined by Drucker, which published on his fmous book mngement prctice. The reson why Drucker rised this conception is tht he wnts to express the mening of humn things which is unble to express in trdition wy. the conception mens compny stffs nturlly possess nd utonomously disposed coordintion, fusion, judgment nd imgintion. Menwhile, economists begn to concerned bout immterility cpitl fctor nd this fctor s vitl impct to economic growth. Schultz rised economic growth not only relte to the quntities of (lbors),but lso relte to the qulities of (eduction qulities like knowledge, skill, etc).therefore, he prticulrly rised the conception of humn cpitl, nd the conception formed systemtic theory. The first step of countries grde nd rnk cn bck to the UNDP published humn develop index in 1990.It includes three-dimensionl indexes which is popultion expecttion life, dult litercy rte nd comprehensive gross enrollment rtios, per cpit GDP. After deling with dimensionless, humn development index should be clculted from indexes scores through rithmetic men. These chievements provided helpful references to further reserch. In conclusion, Mesuring interntionl should not be only concern the scle of, but lso need to concern the qulity of it, should not be only concern the bility of eduction exploittion, but lso need to concern the bility of mrket lloction nd helth gurntee, should not be only concern the develop sttus, but lso need to emphsize the potentil of system reformtion.consequently,this pper constructed evlution system, which syntheticlly evluted of 58 countries nd districts worldwide.
