Metropolitan functions are based on performing services of the highest rank, especially those of the decision-making character connected with the presence of institutions which represent the structures of administration, management and inspection. Performing such functions by the metropolis requires highly qualified staff and causes that concentration of human capital (measured by the share of employees with higher educational level) in the metropolis should be higher than in other areas of the region. Such thesis was proposed with reference to the Lodz metropolis. Its positive verification enables a statement that human capital concentration is in Lodz definitely higher than throughout the whole region (more than 50%). The article also attempts to point out certain consequences of this fact: the main conclusion is that productivity of human capital is lower in Lodz metropolis than in the whole region (also in case of particular sectors of its economy).
