“Human capital” is a term that refers to the “level of education” of a population, these skills will produce economic value, which will have an important impact on the development and growth of a region. This research aims to prove that the relationships of some variables of social condition influence the economic development of a given region. The study focuses on the Altiplano area of the State of San Luis Potosí in Mexico. Demographic data from various localities in the area were evaluated. The method of Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was used to estimate the causal relationships between variables such as Education and Health with respect to economic development and migration in the study context. The results indicate that a major problem linked to the scarcity of human capital in this region is migration, which in turn has effects on economic growth and development.
