Abstract
In addition to the market effects of human capital, non-market effects are also of special importance in economic growth and development. The main purpose of this article is to calculate the criteria and indicators of non-market effects of human capital from theoretical foundations and then compare these effects in Iran and other geographical and income regions of the world. Using library method, non-market criteria of human capital such as health, democracy, human rights, political stability, inequality and poverty, environment ،Crime, and finally quality of life were extracted and studied and compared over time as well as cross-sectional. The results showed that regardless of the indicators of human development and human capital and scientific in which Iran has a relatively good position but the product of these criteria and indicators is the non-market effects of human capital in very low political sphere, relatively low in social sphere, and if we consider the quality of life index as a combination of all indicators and criteria we are evaluated at a very bad and low level.
