The Human Capital Report 2017 finds countries’ failure to adequately develop people’s talents is underpinning inequality by depriving people of opportunity and access to a broad base of good-quality work. According to the WEF’s Human Capital Index, 62 percent of human capital has been developed globally at present. Only 25 nations have developed 70 percent of their people’s human capital or more. With the majority of countries leveraging between 50 percent and 70 percent of their human capital, 14 countries nevertheless remain below 50 percent. Rwanda (71), Ghana (72), Cameroon (73) and Mauritius (74) have developed more than 60% of their human capital.
