- 1. (c) asset — It treats people as an asset.
- 2. (d) human capital — They form human capital.
- 3. (a) health — Education and health build human capital.
- 4. (b) primary — They are primary-sector activities.
- 5. The stock of educated, healthy and skilled people who can work productively.
- 6. Primary, secondary and tertiary.
- 7. People become a resource for a country when their abilities are developed so that they can contribute productively to the economy. By itself, a large population might seem like a burden, but if its people are educated, healthy and skilled, they can work efficiently and add to the nation's wealth — this is the idea of people as a resource, and such a population is called human capital. Human capital is created by investing in people through education, which gives them knowledge and skills, and through health care, which keeps them fit to work. When a person is well-educated and healthy, they can earn more, do better work and even create work for others. Thus, by spending on schools, skill training and healthcare, a country can transform its population from a burden into its most valuable asset.
