The Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Working Group is a global network of researchers from multiple disciplines that seeks to restore and strengthen human capital development research.
It establishes a community of researchers, educators and policymakers focused on human development (including health and psychology) and related issues in finance, macroeconomics and inequality, with the aim of promoting easy, effective collaboration.
The working group will focus on the failure of markets to accurately price the economic value of human capital and the consequences of these failures, notably economic development distortions, declining growth, rising economic inequality and difficulty correcting fiscal imbalances. Currently six topical working groups have been established to explore specific aspects of these issues.
