In spite of concerted efforts, policymakers and bureaucrats still face challenges in designing and executing education policies that could build more human capital, especially highly skilled and educated labour. Information on the impacts of increased public education expenditure on the labour market, and who would benefit from this spending, is very important for promoting inclusive growth.
