摘要

我们认为并证明，人力资本服务--卫生、教育和行为健康--存在人力资本利用不足的问题。医疗服务提供者、教师、母亲和穷人拥有大量关于如何改善人力资本的知识，但他们却没有加以利用。这个问题并非非洲独有，但由于国家能力历来较低，在非洲尤其严重。我们展示了确定这一差距的测量方法，并讨论了可用于缩小这一差距的研究和政策方法。

Untapped human capital in Africa

We argue and demonstrate that human capital services—health, education and behavioral health—suffer from underutilized human capital. Healthcare providers, teachers, mothers and poor people have significant funds of knowledge about how to improve human capital that they do not use. This problem is not unique to Africa, but it is particularly pernicious in that setting due to historically low state capabilities. We demonstrate measurement methods that establish this gap and discuss approaches to research and policy that could be used to close the gap.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
