Policies to Develop Human Resources
| |
| Now that the importance of human capital in attracting FDI is understood, the next
question is: what are the past HRD policy experiences of host developing countries that
have strived to attract inward FDI? This section focuses on formal education policies to
attract FDI. While vocational training policies also help improve human resources of host
developing countries, they are likely to be more important after some influx of FDI into
the economy. |
|
|
Empirical Evidence: Does Human Capital Matter?
| |
| Although the theoretical literature on FDI presumes human capital to be among the
key ingredients of inward FDI (Dunning, 1988; Lucas, 1990; and Zhang and Markusen,
1999), there are only few cross-country analyses done to identify the determinants of
inward FDI in developing countries. |

|
Prospects of Human Capital in the Future: Background
| |
| Future prospects of human capital development can be seen from the current
trends in education among the children as well as the training efforts made in
enterprises. |

Poverty and Human Resources

children. |

Trends since 1960: Africa’s human development
| |
| The welfare of Africans rose in both the 1960s and 1970s, whether assessed solely by GDP per
capita or by the wider HDI. |
|
|
Comparison with other developing countries: Africa’s human development
| |
| Table 1 sets out the HDI and its components by region for 1994. Life expectancy in Africa is 53
years, compared to 61 in South Asia. Much of the lower life expectancy in Africa reflects higher
child mortality. |
|
|
The concept of development: Africa’s human development
| |
| The concept of human development centres around the notion that human welfare depends on various
dimensions, many of which are not well captured by conventional measures of economic income. |

From Go Fast Kids to Calm Kids
| |
| Making that transition from holiday mode to classroom.
How excited do kids get with the start of school approaching? Getting kids to go from the freedom of school holidays to move to that place of being settled and ready for school can be a challenge for some parents. Many children now days are identified as being ADD and ADHD I call these kids “go fasts” and the transition from holidays to school can be a bit more of a challenge for these kids. Being a “go fast” kid is fine, they are full of excitement and life, but it does not always suite the classroom environment. So how do you handle the transition time as they move into the structures of a new school year and a classroom environment? |

Become a Student Of Success And Change Everything
| |
| I heard this term long after I was a student of the learning environment known as school. When I was in school I never had good grades and becoming a success seemed to be something that was left for others. In school we are all graded on the merits of the people who excel at learning. This article is about how anyone from all walks of life can change their life to be anything that they want it to be. Its about how, after many years of believing that I had to settle for what life dealt me by not being good in school was something I could change. I heard that to change your life you had to change the way you think.

New School Year: Lessons from a Middle Schooler
| |
| Today is the first day of school in Michigan and I am the new mom to a Middle Schooler!. Time has flown so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I was holding him in the rocking chair in his room. I remember looking at his little legs and thinking to myself, “some day his legs will hang over mine when he sits on my lap. I can’t even imagine it.” And now here we are, it’s been years since he’s spent any time on my lap. His legs would almost hit the ground, all in the blink of an eye. Where has the time gone?
I watch with amazement as he heads off to Middle School with nothing more than anticipation. Hallways to maneuver, new school, way more kids, lockers and classes to find. His elementary school is nothing more than a fond memory and he is ready to move on. I am so proud of him today!
