India rejects World Bank's Human Capital Index (HCI) report over data gaps
The Central government on Thursday rejected the findings of the World Bank`s Human Capital Index (HCI), which has placed the country at 115th position out of 157 countries on various parameters, such as survivability measured by under-five mortality rate.
The HCI index values are contended to convey the productivity of the next generation of workers, compared to a benchmark of complete standard education and full health. Image Source: Reuters
