What is Global Capital Index?
- The Global Human Capital Index 2017 ranks 130 countries on how well they are developing their human capital on a scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
- The rankings are based on four thematic dimensions — capacity, deployment, development, and know-how — and five distinct age groups or generations — 0-14 years; 15-24 years; 25-54 years; 55-64 years; and 65 years and over — to capture the full human capital potential profile of a country.
