The Human Capital Index seeks to serve as a tool for capturing the complexity of education, employment and workforce dynamics so that various stakeholders are able to make better-informed decisions.

This year’s edition deepens the analysis by focusing on a number of key issues that can support better design of education policy and future workforce planning.
