Download or read book Human Capital Formation as an Engine of Growth written by Loong-Hoe Tan and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 1999 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The East Asian countries have been relatively more advanced than other developing countries in the field of human capital development. Even in the 1960s they managed to attain higher levels of human capital compared with other low- and middle-level economies in the developing world. This volume examines the role of human capital formation in the rapid growth of the East Asian economies. Apart from the formal education variable, other factors such as better health care of the labour force, nutritional status of the population, and on-the-job training are important concerns that were not given sufficient attention in the 1993 World Bank study The East Asian Miracle. This present volume offers many insights of interest to policy-makers and specialists with regard to developing (and transitional) economies.

Download or read book Education Human Capital Investment and Innovation in the Contemporary Japanese Economy written by Tamotsu Nakamura and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-18 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes education in Japan from the viewpoint of “the stagnant current Japanese economy”. Tomoyuki Tamagawa, a long-time mathematics teacher in junior high school, is now a vice principal. He and Tamotsu Nakamura have written Chapter 1 of this book together because they believe that the loss of vitality in the Japanese economy is due to the problem of human capital formation in school education. Shinji Oi has worked for many years at a Japanese broadcasting station and has extensive experience in human resource development. In Chapter 2, he analyzes the relationship between optimal human capital investment and labor market mobility, based on his recognition of the importance of vocational training, or human capital investment at the firm and the necessity for good allocation of human resources. Tokuji Saita is well versed not only in the realities and practices in the financial industry but also in the financial system as a whole. In Chapter 3, based on his long experience in the financial industry, he analyzes and points out the importance of “openness” of innovation from a macroeconomic point of view.

Download or read book Human Capital Formation and Economic Growth in Asia and the Pacific written by Wendy Dobson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire planet looks to Asian and other emerging markets to sustain growth momentum as traditional markets in the USA and Europe struggle with the slow and arduous processes of deleveraging after the global financial crisis. At the same time, there is growing recognition in Asia that the sources of growth must shift to sustain their own growth momentum in the years ahead. Heavy reliance on the region’s high savings rates and plentiful supplies of low-cost labour will have to shift towards increasing the human capital embodied in more educated and skilled labour forces capable of contributing to productivity growth and innovation as future drivers of growth. Human Capital Formation and Economic Growth in Asia and the Pacific focuses on why and how countries are making this shift. The demographic transition is shown to be a significant factor as ageing populations in Japan, South Korea and China manage declining growth in the labour force by stepping up investments in education, and by changing policies and institutions. Lessons to be learned from these experiences by more youthful populations in Southeast Asia are explored. In addition, attention is paid to the consequences of cross-border differentials in technical knowledge and the quantity and quality of human capital. Several implications for public policy and for international cooperation on human-capital issues in the Asian region are identified. The chapters in this volume are edited versions of papers presented at the 35th Pacific Trade and Development conference held in Vancouver, Canada, in June 2012. The conference goal was to better understand how governments and business in Asia and the Pacific can apply the key insight that one of the reasons economies grow is because of human-capital formation – the quality and diversity of the labour force are augmented – not just because the labour force grows in size. Students of Asia’s growth prospects will find several aspects of this volume of particular value. It includes chapters on the big-picture conceptual and measurement issues; on country experiences in meeting the imperatives of the demographic transition and investing in education and skills training; and on country experiences with attracting foreign knowledge and the supply and recruitment of skills across borders in Asia and the Pacific. Policymakers will also find useful the discussions of policy implications and the menu of issues requiring intergovernmental cooperation within the Asian region.

Download or read book Human Capital and Economic Growth in Japan written by Takashi Miyahara and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, Japan's growth rate gradually declined and now lags behind those of other advanced economies and other Asian nations. Japanese government's plan to revitalize the nation's economy stresses population decline and population aging as factors that undermine national growth and development, but also highlights the need to enhance the productivity of human capital through training, economic diversification and technology advancements. Given the closed nature of its island economy, declining birth rates and significant aging of the population, Japan's human capital-focused approach to economic revitalization requires strong understanding of the roles of human capital, as well as new insights on the opportunities to transform such roles to achieve improved economic development. In this dissertation, I argue that understanding the pattern of productivity growth, the role of immigrants, the quality of human capital and the differentials between Japanese prefectures in development patterns are key to improving the performance of the Japanese economy. I therefore develop three related studies which culminate in three essays. In the first essay, I develop the theoretical framework for growth decomposition and estimate the relationship between economic growth and labor productivity at various scales and identify its determinants. I find that national and regional labor productivities grew over time but their growth rates decreased. I further found that labor productivity measures are positively correlated with physical capital, education and immigrants, but negatively correlated with population aging. In the second essay, I develop the conceptual framework for deeper understanding of the role of population aging in regional economic growth. I invoke the multiple generations model in estimating the impacts of various living Japanese generations on economic growth. I find that as generation Z (Gnz), the base generation, ages, economic output increases at a decreasing rate peaking at age 36, which is younger than current Japanese median age. This reconfirms the notion that as the Japanese society ages, the average contribution of Japanese people to the economy decreases. However, this is conditional on the distributions of other generations and their ages. The older generations, generation X, the before baby boomer generation and the first baby boomer generation, have positive additional economic contribution. On the other hand, the Yutori generation's contribution is less than Gnz and the contribution of the second baby boomer generation and generation Y stops growing at their early 20s. These suggest that younger generations are not able to replace the older ones in terms of productivity. In the third essay, I develop the conceptual framework for understanding the relative impact of both immigrants and the native population on regional economic growth. I find that the average impacts of international immigrants and natives are both positive, but that the impacts of natives are larger than those of immigrants. I further find that the impacts of immigrants are increasing over time, while natives struggle to contribute to the economy. Given the closed nature of Japanese economy and historical strictness of immigration rules, it appears that immigrants have the potential to help turn around the economic growth rate slowdown. Attempts by the Japanese government to enhance labor productivity by improving the technology environment, especially through information and communication technology seem justifiable. The findings from my three-pronged essay research make important contributions to the literature on economic transformation and are useful in labor and immigration policy for the future of Japanese society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Influence of Human Capital on Economic Growth" delves into a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between human capital and regional financial development in West Java Province. This research covers the period from 2017 to 2019 and employs a quantitative research approach using mathematical analysis techniques. To gather data for the analysis, the book relies on secondary sources, specifically the data reports provided by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (Badan Pusat Statistik or BPS). These reports offer valuable information crucial for understanding the dynamics of regional financial development in West Java Province. The research technique utilized in this study is panel regression, specifically employing the GLS fixed-effect model approach. This statistical method allows for the examination of both cross-sectional and time series data, making it suitable for analyzing the relationship between human capital and regional financial development over a specific time period. The GLS fixed-effect model accounts for individual characteristics of each region in West Java Province, providing a more accurate estimation of the impact of human capital on financial growth. The study's findings shed light on the critical role of human capital, with a specific focus on education, in influencing economic growth in West Java Province. The estimation results highlight the significant impact of the education variable on the region's financial development, emphasizing the importance of investing in education and improving educational infrastructure to enhance the quality of the workforce and stimulate economic growth. While the relationship between human capital and financial development extends beyond education alone, the estimation results reveal education as the most dominant factor influencing financial development in West Java Province. Therefore, efforts to improve the education level of the workforce should be prioritized to enhance productivity and drive economic progress. Based on the research findings, the book proposes recommendations for the local governments in West Java Province. It suggests a substantial increase in regional expenditure allocations specifically dedicated to the education and health sectors to improve the quality of education and healthcare. By prioritizing human capital development and creating an enabling environment for skills enhancement, West Java Province can pave the way for sustainable and inclusive financial growth. "The Influence of Human Capital on Economic Growth" provides valuable insights into the impact of human capital on regional financial development in West Java Province.

Download or read book Human Capital and Development written by Natteri Siddharthan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers included in this volume cover several aspects of human capital. It starts with the role of human capital in influencing productivity, employment and growth of employment. The chapters show that Indian States that have been neglecting schooling and health facilities have become victims in terms of low productivity and lower rates of employment. Consequently, employment cannot be increased without spending on education and health. Furthermore, the unorganised sector in India cannot provide gainful employment as productivity in this sector is low and is also declining. Skill intensity influences mainly productivity in the organised sector. As a result, states that have been neglecting human capital would lose on both counts. The chapters also reveal that human capital could be substituted for energy use and help in reducing energy consumption and pollution. India is also one of the important exporters of human capital and the non resident Indians send remittances back to India. The volume indicates that remittances play a significant role in poverty reduction and increase in per capita consumption levels. In addition remittances, unlike foreign direct investments and portfolio investments, are less erratic and are not influenced by slowdown in the world economy. Poverty could also be directly attacked through the use of anti poverty programmes like NREGA. This volume provides an analytical framework and a theoretical model to analyse the impact of these programmes to examine their influence on labour demand, income, prices and productivity. The volume also emphasises the crucial role of the government in directly running education institutions. As seen from the volume government run engineering institutions are technically more efficient than the private run ones.

This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human capital is an important factor for economic growth in South Asia. Between 1981 and 2010, human capital contributed about 22% of annual gross domestic product per worker growth in India. During the same period, it contributed around 21% in Bangladesh, and 16% in Sri Lanka. However, education and skills remain the binding constraint. Raising the quality of education and skills in South Asia's workforce can play a critical role in catching up to the level of development of the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, and other successful Southeast Asian economies. This study reviews the development of human capital in South Asia and analyzes contributing factors to human development including policies and strategies that countries in South Asia follow.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are very strong reasons to believe that there is a complementary interaction between physical and human capital, and whether this can be supported by data is tested. Thus, the aim of our study is to test for causality between investment in physical and human capital for India, Indonesia and Japan between the period of 1890 to 2000. These three countries were subordinate to exogenous influences both in technology and human capital development. Very weak causality has been found. It may be said that it is.
