Human resource development and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

dc:description

Sustained development requires efficient use of resources and equitable distribution of national income. Investment in human capital must be systematically organized in relation to other investments. Specifically, attrition in primary school is high, and the education does not respond sufficiently to labor market requirements, nor engender self-employment opportunities. Inadequate agricultural production, nutrition, health care, poor female education, and excessive population growth are major obstacles to human development and economic growth.
