The role of education in human capital formation
Human capital defined
• Human capital consists of
the knowledge, skills, and
health that people
accumulate throughout
their lives, enabling them
to realize their potential
as productive members of
society.
Education’s role
• Education, particularly
schooling, serves as the
basis for human capital,
as it plays a fundamental
role in the accumulation
of foundational skills,
such as literacy and
numeracy.
Education Sustainable
Development Goal –
SDG 4
The most ambitious
global agenda for
education ever: all
children, young people
and adults achieving at
least minimum levels of
literacy and numeracy
by 2030
PISA 2015: Proportion of 15-year-old students at the end of lower secondary education
achieving at least minimum proficiency in mathematics (PISA Level 2 or above)
Upper-middle- and high-income countries
Lower-middle income countries
Proportionof15-year-oldstudentsachievingatleastabaselinelevelof
proficiency(Level2inPISA)inmathematics(%)
PISA ESCS parity index (Q1%/Q4%)
The world is seriously off-track in ensuring
all children, young people and adults achieve
at least minimum levels of literacy and
numeracy by 2030
Number of children
and adolescents
who do not achieve
the minimum
proficiency level in
reading by region,
age group and sex
Gender gaps widen with age
Human capital formation: building the foundations for
success over the life-course of children and young people
What will it take to be successful?
More domestic resources for education
• At least 4-6% of GDP
proposed by SDG
Education 2030
Framework for Action
• 15-20% of total public
expenditure
At least 33 countries do not
meet either of these targets
More foreign assistance for
education – six times above the
2012 levels needed
Money is necessary but not sufficient
Spending per student from the age of 6 to 15 and science performance

The role of education in human capital formation

  • 1. The role of education in human capital formation Human capital defined • Human capital consists of the knowledge, skills, and health that people accumulate throughout their lives, enabling them to realize their potential as productive members of society. Education’s role • Education, particularly schooling, serves as the basis for human capital, as it plays a fundamental role in the accumulation of foundational skills, such as literacy and numeracy.
  • 2. Education Sustainable Development Goal – SDG 4 The most ambitious global agenda for education ever: all children, young people and adults achieving at least minimum levels of literacy and numeracy by 2030

  • 5. Gender gaps widen with age
  • 6. Human capital formation: building the foundations for success over the life-course of children and young people
  • 7. What will it take to be successful? More domestic resources for education • At least 4-6% of GDP proposed by SDG Education 2030 Framework for Action • 15-20% of total public expenditure At least 33 countries do not meet either of these targets More foreign assistance for education – six times above the 2012 levels needed

  1. In the case of numeracy, the gap is negative (meaning that boys are more proficient than girls) but very small at age 9/10, grows in magnitude at age 15/16, and grows even more negative at age 26/27. In the case of literacy, the gender gap is positive (meaning that female students perform better than male students) at age 9/10, is even larger at age 15/16, and shrinks to zero at age 26/27. Numeracy and literacy skills have become increasingly important in modern labour markets. The large gender differences that several studies have identified have therefore sparked considerable attention among researchers and policy makers. Little is known about the moment in which such gaps emerge, how they evolve and if their evolution differs across countries.
