India and the U.S. remain tense about outsourcing
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s visit last week has been dubbed by some the High Technology Cooperation Dialogue. Pressed by Indian governmental and business leaders about what it sees as an increasingly protectionist stance in the U.S., Clinton pledged support for working with India for better high-tech relations, but offered no specifics. "Outsourcing is a concern for many communities and businesses in my country, so how we handle that is something that we’re very focused on doing in a way that doesn’t disrupt the great flow of trade and services that go between our countries," Clinton said in an interview on Indian television.

Whether human capital has been the key driver of economic prosperity or vice-versa is still a matter of debate. Nevertheless, long time series trends in educational attainment and economic growth during the last century indicate that HRD and economic prosperity went hand in hand10. Some developing countries followed similar trends in human capital and economic growth. What was distinctive about these developing countries is that they appeared to have realised large economic benefits in attracting MNEs into host economies, and have thus mobilised inward FDI to attain rapid economic growth.

Attracting Service Sector MNEs
As shown in section II.2, services sector FDI has been a growing area in the past 15 years. Since the service sector FDI, in general, involves high value-added MNEs that possess knowledge and technology, host developing countries may want to mobilise their human resources so as to attract these types of MNEs.
