Human Capital

The world's economy is changing. Globalisation means jobs move from country to country, while computers and advanced communications are changing the way business works - and the sort
of work we do.

Today, the value of skilled, complex and creative
work is growing fast. As a result, economic success
for countries and for individuals relies increasingly
on human capital - our knowledge, skills learning, talents and abilities.

How can societies raise human capital and ensure everyone gets the education they need at every stage of life, from early childhood to adulthood?

Drawing on the unique resources of the OECD, Human Capital explains these issues using straightforward language and examples drawn from the real world.

"Human Capital" - an essential introduction to a subject we're going to be hearing a lot more of in
the years to come.
