Elyse Melling, Ch. 13, Question 6

One thing I found interesting in chapter thirteen was when Wheelan talked about how "all countries that have had persistent growth in income have also had large increases in the income and training of their labor forces" (Wheelan 301). Wheelan also talked about how education can improve public health which is a form of human capital. He mentioned that higher rates of education for women are associated with lower rates of infant mortality. I think we can use these facts to our advantage. If we know that education aids in developing an economy, we should do something to help the underdeveloped economies of the world.
