Summary: | This text examines investments across Latin America and the Caribbean in education, training, health and nutrition. A survey finds the region's human resources fare relatively well by international comparison. Historically high investment levels in some countries are associated with good subsequent macroeconomic performance. However, important gaps and inadequate investment in recent years are cause for concern. |
