India ranks 103 on WEF’s Global Human Capital Index

14 Sep 2017 Evaluate

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) Global Human Capital Index 2017 has placed India at 103 rank, among a list of 130 countries and India stood at the bottom of the heap among the G20 nations. India is the lowest among BRICS nations, while the index has been topped by Norway and other countries in the top 10 list are -- Finland (2nd), Switzerland (3rd), the United States (4th), Denmark (5th), Germany (6th), New Zealand (7th), Sweden (8th), Slovenia (9th) and Austria (10th). Besides, India was on 105th position on the list last year, while the top spot was taken by Finland, pushed to second place this year.

As per the report, India also ranks poorly on labour force participation, due in part to one of the world's largest employment gender gaps. The country ranks 118 for labour force participation among the key 35-54 year old demographic, suggesting far too many Indians are engaged in informal or subsistent employment. However, it received solid rankings on development of skills needed for the future, the country fares strongly, ranking 65 out of 130. It added that among the South Asian countries, India falls behind Sri Lanka (70) and Nepal (98), and is just ahead of Bangladesh (111) and Pakistan (125). The country has the lowest rank among the BRICS nations -- the Russian Federation is at 16th place, followed by China at 34th, Brazil at 77th and South Africa at 87th place.

The Global Human Capital Index 2017 has ranked 130 countries on how well they are developing their human capital on a scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) across four thematic dimensions -- capacity, deployment, development and know-how -- and five distinct age groups or generations -- 0-14 years; 15-24 years; 25-54 years; 55-64 years; and 65 years and over -- to capture the full human capital potential profile of a country. The WEF list takes into account ‘the knowledge and skills people possess that enable them to create value in the global economic system’ to measure the 'human capital' rank of a country.
