Abstract
Germany is both an industrial powerhouse and a human capital powerhouse. The first accumulation and rapid development of Germany's human capital not only effectively promoted its industry and economy, but also greatly enhanced its military strength and comprehensive national strength, playing a leading, creating and promoting role in the rise of the country. This paper analyzes the experience of human capital accumulation in Germany from the perspectives of education and science and technology, and discusses the changes of economic and demographic structure, the characteristics of human capital and the investment of human capital. Germany's human capital has three characteristics: cumulative advantage, leading knowledge and career orientation. Germany increases the investment in human capital through policies, funds and innovations. From the experience of Germany, human capital has a fundamental impact on the rise of a country. The general logic is that the rise of a country requires a strong overall national strength and good social order. When a country's human capital accumulates to a considerable extent and forms a great advantage, the vigor of human capital will be fully released under the implementation of appropriate national strategies or even seemingly accidental historical opportunities, which will lead to the release of the creative potential of the society and the economic potential of the country, thus opening the way for the rise of the country. By summarizing the model and experience of human capital accumulation in Germany, this paper provides reference for human capital investment policies of various countries.
