Economic Growth in Developing Countries: Education Proves Key

Authors: Lutz W

Publication Year: 2008

Abstract

Recently published IIASA research proves unambiguously: education is a fundamental determinant not only of health, demographic trends, and individual income, but also of a country's aggregate level of economic growth. This gives policymakers a new perspective on international education goals and the most promising routes towards sustainable development.
