Abstract	Investment in human capital has moved to centre stage in the strategies of WEI (World Education Indicators) countries to promote social prosperity, better skilled labour forces, social cohesion and other positive individual and social benefits. However, investment in education competes with other public and private demands and often faces severe constraints.... [Analyzing the education indicators of the WEI programme] this volume examines both the investments and returns to education and human capital. It begins by looking at the results of a ... study of the impact of human capital on economic growth in WEI countries which shows new findings relative to those found in studies of the OECD member states. It also sets out the context for trends in educational attainment as well as current levels of educational participation and expenditure in WEI countries. The report addresses the financing of education systems by examining spending and investment strategies in WEI countries from both public and private perspectives. It looks at the rationale for public spending, how public resources are distributed across levels of education and the role of the private sector both as a provider of educational services and a source of educational expenditure. [Statistical profiles of finance indicators for each country complement the analysis]. (DIPF/Orig.).
