| Summary: | Human capital is the stock of
accumulated knowledge, experience, and attributes that
workers bring to and use in the production of goods and
services in an economy. Investing in people through quality
healthcare, education, social services, and job
opportunities develops human capital, which is key to ending
extreme poverty and creating more inclusive societies. The
state of Georgia’s human capital is of significant concern
as it threatens to hold the country back from reaching its
growth potential. Recognizing this urgency, the government
has begun to set national priorities for accelerating human
capital development.This report highlights the state of and
trends in human capital development in Georgia today. Its
aim is to acknowledge Georgia’s accomplishments, address
ongoing challenges, and outline key interventions to help
the country in taking the next step in its growth by
investing in its most important resource, the Georgian
people. Moving from ideation to the implementation of
strategic human capital investments will require a
whole-of-society approach, an increase in financial
commitments, continuous monitoring and learning from
results, and the exploitation of technology. |
