Recommendation

Globally, the successful use of “human capital” potential is on the rise, but more work is needed to ensure readiness for the future of learning and of work. The World Economic Forum provides statistically-based insights into how well various nations are maximizing their human capital potential, discusses reasons why human capital remains untapped, notes technological developments which will only continue to disrupt traditional education and employment in the future, and addresses the role of private enterprise in meeting human capital goals. getAbstract recommends this report to policy makers, business leaders and educators.

Take-Aways

  • The Human Capital Index’s assessment of how well 130 countries are educating and putting their citizens to work finds that 35% of global “human capital” potential remains untapped.
  • Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark, the Netherlands, Canada and Belgium lead the way in maximizing human capital potential.
  • In many places around the world, “front-loaded” education systems fail to provide the types of training needed for modern labor markets.
