| Abstract | The literature recognizes that higher education institutions (HEIs) have a key role for innovation, productivity growth and economic development, which happens via the formation of skilled labor and the development of new skills and new ideas. Universities worldwide have been trying to meet regional needs, in order to promote the development of the region in which they are located. The community institutions have been standing out, since their creation, in providing important services to the community in areas such as education and health, therefore contributing, as an important factor, to the development of the regions in which they are located. In this way, studies to estimate the economic impact of these HEI and how they can contribute to regional development become useful. This study aims at estimating the economic and social impact of community institutions of higher education compared to other institutions of higher education in the Rio Grande do Sul microregions. It identifies the historic contribution of community institutions of higher education to the formation and training of skilled labor in the whole state. Relative to the population size, the microregions with largest contributions to the impact on employment in the region (measured by direct and indirect employment multipliers), have a small structure of enrollments and jobs in HEIs. |
