Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
There is great disparities in human capital- health, education, and skills around the world . Compared with developed countries, much of the developing world has lagged in its average levels of nutrition, health (as measured by life expectancy), and education (measured by literacy). The bulk of FDI ,which is vital for economic growth goes, to developed countries. This paper tries to assess the whether the variation in the FDI flow among the developed and developing countries was because of variations in the level of human development among the countries. By taking the countries which are ranked as very high human development countries and the countries which are ranked as low human developed countries as per the HDR report 2016 we examine the relationship between the human development and the flow of FDI to this countries. Study found that high human development is followed by a increasing flow of FDI and vice-versa. In our next effort , to assess the impact of variations in the human development on the countries development performance, by using the multiple regression analysis, we find significant econometrical evidence that variations in the levels of human development among the countries has been influencing the development performance among these countries.
