A World Economic Forum report titled ‘The Global Human Capital Report 2017’ has Egypt ranked 97th out of 130. The index seeks to define how well countries develop their human capital on a scale of 0-100 “across four thematic dimensions and five distinct age groups to capture the full human capital potential profile of a country.” Egypt suffers in the categories headed “Deployment” and “Development” but does reasonably well in the subindices of “Capacity” and “Know-how.” The report makes for an interesting read especially looking past the numbers and into the underlying concepts and ideas behind the indices used. The complete report you can find right here; the page on Egypt is here.
