Human Capital Formation and Economic Growth in Asia and the Pacific

Herausgeber: Dobson, Wendy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
