Manpower

Economic development

Employment

Skilled labor

The capacity to develop is more important in the long run for a nation than the more immediate achievements of economic growth. The formation of skills and the creation of effective organizations for work and thought are essentials to develop capacities for growth and adaptation in a changing society. For lack of a better indicator, educational and training levels are taken to represent the degree of skill and organisation. Evidently this is not a sufficient indicator, since a form of leadership, team work and a set of social values are required to make out of a group of (educated) or (trained) citizens an enterprising and developing community.
