Human Resources:
People who are part of the workforce are called human resource. By
contributing in productivity, the human resource plays a significant role
in the economy of a country. Any other resource becomes useful only
because of the input by the human resource.
Investment in human capital yields a return
like investment in other resources. Investment
in human capital is done through education,
training and healthcare. A person with better
education usually earns better than an
uneducated person. Moreover, a healthy person
is more productive than an unhealthy person.

Human Resources:
Educated parents understand the value of
education and hence invest in their child’s
education to secure a better future for the child.
Educated parents also take extra care of the health
and nutrition of their child. This creates a virtuous
cycle of creating a better human capital.
Uneducated parents are unable to invest on
education and healthcare of their children. This
creates a vicious cycle in which the coming
generation is often forced to remain poor.
