Title: Proposed Framework on Human Capital Indicators - First Draft
Description: This paper proposes a framework for tracking the economic sustainability of the education and health components of human capital. It makes the case that the two most appropriate summary human capital indicators in the education area are average education attainment and literacy levles based on international testing and in the health area health-adjusted life expectancy and self-reported health states. The paper finds that the development of estimates of these four summary indicators to track economic sustainability is feasible. However, the paper notes that the sustainability of human capital represents considerably less of a challenge that the sustainability of certain ecosystems and that the more important challenge in the human capital area relate more to Canada's ability to improve the quality of our human resources relative to our competitors.
