Human Capital Formation and Economic Growth in Asia and the Pacific - Bog

This book explores how governments and business in Asia and the Pacific can apply the key insight that one of the reasons economies grow is because of human-capital formation ¿ the quality and diversity of the labour force are augmented ¿ not just because the labour force grows in size. It includes chapters on conceptual and measurement issues; country experiences in meeting the imperatives of demographic transition and investment in education and skills training; and experiences of attracting foreign knowledge and the supply and recruitment of skills across borders in Asia and the Pacific.
