Human capital and its development are the key elements of a knowledge-based economy. The basic pillars for this development are the healthy mental and physical development, teaching, and education of youth. A good question to ask is to what extent the young are aware of the important features of lifestyle, which will make it possible for them in the future to become active and valuable participants in the labour market. This investigation started within the framework of the project TAMOP 4.2.2D-15/1/KONV, or ‘Medic-Network.' In the framework of that project, the authors have studied the health-consciousness of Hungarians and Slovakians studying in higher education using quantitative methods and web-based questionnaires. Research results show that, in the examined sample, health-consciousness - the approach to protecting health and the preferences of you from the two countries - is different. The health programs of both countries must be developed to reach a well-prepared Z generation and help build a successful society and economy.
