The note first introduces the human capital development challenge in the region in the context of the World Bank’s Human Capital Project. The note then discusses social protection policies that relate directly to the Human Capital Index, a cross-country indicator of progress on human capital that focuses on the early and school-age years. The final part of the note discusses social protection policies relevant to the broader aim of the Human Capital Project to initiate engagement with client countries about how human capital can be accumulated, protected, and deployed throughout the entire lifecycle. The note considers the potential impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on human capital, but frames the discussion of social protection and human capital broadly to identify implications relevant to the outbreak but also beyond it 2020-11-16T16:50:08Z 2020-11-16T16:50:08Z 2020-10 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/489241605080753164/The-Role-of-Social-Protection-in-Building-Protecting-and-Deploying-Human-Capital-in-the-East-Asia-and-Pacific-Region http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34783 English Social Protection and Jobs Discussion Paper;No. 2008 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper East Asia and Pacific East Asia Oceania
