    The objective of this note is to highlight how social protection can help lay the human capital foundations needed for poverty reduction and economic growth in the East Asia and Pacific region while also building, protecting, and deploying the human capital needed to keep up with and take advantage of technological and demographic developments. The note first introduces the human capital development challenge in the region in the context of the World Bank’s Human Capital Project. The note then discusses social protection policies that relate directly to the Human Capital Index, a cross-country indicator of progress on human capital that focuses on the early and school-age years. The final part of the note discusses social protection policies relevant to the broader aim of the Human Capital Project to initiate engagement with client countries about how human capital can be accumulated, protected, and deployed throughout the entire lifecycle. The note considers the potential impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on human capital, but frames the discussion of social protection and human capital broadly to identify implications relevant to the outbreak but also beyond it

    The Human Capital Index (HCI) Compass is a guidance note for clients' own assessment of progress towards HCI. The launch of the Human Capital Index (HCI) in October 2018 spurred an interesting conversation on the state of the world in terms of preparing the current generation to the challenges of the future labor market. By successfully highlighting the depth of the human capital crisis and enabling policy makers to see spending in the social sectors as investments that reap benefits in the long run, the index demonstrated its usefulness as an advocacy tool. Partly due to the success of the advocacy effort, the immediate questions policy makers posed were 'what to do to improve the HCI?' and 'how best to track progress considering the slowly-moving nature of the index. The HCI Compass is a response to this query. First, it aims to help countries answer the question: "What do we need to do to improve our HCI and its sub components (child survival, adult survival, stunting, years of schooling, test scores)?" It does so by providing a checklist of key policies, legal framework and aspects of service delivery that characterize countries with good human capital outcomes and/or are proven to be important to improving the key components of the HCI. Pinpointing the set of policies and interventions that drive human capital outcomes is complicated by the fact that the underlying production function and how the different factors interact to produce outcomes is not straight forward. As such, some of the policies and service delivery indicators identified in the compass could be mere correlates rather than determinants of human capital formation. The relative importance of the indicators would also vary based on where a country currently stands and as such, the need to tailor it to each country context. Second, it aims to help countries answer the linked questions: "How well are these policies working? And how do we know we are on track?" It does so by identifying intermediate outcome variables and benchmark variables that will help policymakers assess progress on the ground towards a better HCI. We can think of these variables both as the intermediate results of the policies recommended above, and as "leading indicators" of what will happen to the HCI over time

    Human capital is the Philippines’ most important resource. Two examples of its benefit to the country: remittances from skilled and semi-skilled workers who work abroad amount to about 10 percent of its GDP, and it is one of the top destinations for foreign enterprises seeking educated workers for outsourcing their business processes. However, the Philippines has been losing its human capital edge over the past decades, with critical gaps in access to social services and in the quality of those services. In 2018, its rating on the Human Capital Index, a composite measure based on survival rates, the quantity and quality of schooling, and health status, was 0.55, putting it just ahead of Indonesia but well below Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Within the past decade, the Philippines adopted an ambitious national social agenda that, if implemented well, funded adequately, and monitored assiduously, could put it back on a more robust human development path. All efforts should be made, however, to safeguard this promising agenda from the implementation problems that evidence suggests have subverted the country’s past performance, weak governance, selfish political interest, and widespread corruption. Sound policies won’t lead to progress unless they are implemented well across the agencies and levels of government

    Human capital is a central determinant of economic well-being and social advancement in the modern world economy. The concept of human capital covers the knowledge, skills, nutrition, and health that people accumulate over their lives, enabling them to realize their potential as productive members of society. This Sri Lanka human capital report has several objectives. First, the report serves as a vehicle to explain the Human Capital Project (HCP) and Human Capital Index (HCI) to an audience of national and provincial policy makers and technocrats, and academics and researchers. Second, the report analyzes the main achievements and challenges in human capital development in the context of the World Bank’s HCP, with a special focus on the variables covered in the HCI. Third, the report applies the HCI to an analysis of regional variations in human capital in Sri Lanka. Fourth, the report presents policy and program options for Sri Lanka to combat the main challenges identified in the analysis of the HCI variables. Fifth, some strategic options broader than the HCI but within the scope of the HCP are discussed
