Human Capital and Economic Growth: The Impact of Health, Education and Demographic Change

Bucci, Alberto; Prettner, Klaus; Prskawetz, Alexia

This edited collection explores the links between human capital (both in the form of health and in the form of education), demographic change, and economic growth. Using empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, the authors investigate several important issues in the context of human capital, namely population ageing, inequality, public policy, and long-term economic development. Ultimately, they demonstrate that the accumulation of human capital is of crucial importance to long-run economic growth.
