Human capital – health, education skills -- is vital in economic growth and human development. Compared with other developed countries much of the developing world has lagged in its average level of nutrition health (as a measure of life expectancy)
The well performing developing countries are much closer to the developed world in health education and standers than they are to the lowest income countries.
Low levels of human capital hinder economic development by reducing productivity, limiting innovation, and increasing poverty and inequality. Poor education and health outcomes restrict workforce capabilities, leading to higher unemployment and lower economic growth, perpetuating cycles of poverty and economic stagnation.
