description |
Human capital – the knowledge, skills, and health that people
accumulate over their lives and that enable them to realize
their potential as productive members of society – is an
important contributor to the wealth of all nations regardless
of their income status. A child born in Armenia today will be
57 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be
if she received a full education and was completely healthy.
This reflects the existence in Armenia of deficiencies in its
schooling, student performance on harmonized tests, and
the protection from non-fatal health risks that it provides
beyond childhood. These gaps in human capital formation
have negative implications for the economy. The 2013-2014
National Competitiveness Report of Armenia highlighted
that insufficient human capital is a binding constraint to
the country’s growth. If Armenia ensured full education and
complete health in the long run, the per capita Gross Domestic
Product could be 1.75 times higher. |
