The Big Questions

Education - Can we develop human capital? | Junaid Iqbal | Ep 7

How many out-of-school children are there in Pakistan? Why are we neglecting to develop our human capital, and future labour force? Are we failing our children? This is the seventh episode in a new series of videos I will be hosting, to try and understand Pakistan’s economic situation and how we got here. Join me as we take a deep dive into Pakistan’s development challenges, and its economic potential. In this episode we will take a look at Pakistan’s education spending, and whether we are adequately training our future labour force. #educationinpakistan #foryou #foryoupage This video is based on publicly available macroeconomic data on Pakistan.
