Malaysia's Human Capital Index and Education: A new beginning

Children who take two types of national examinations at 12 and 17 years old are compared using results from the Malaysian national examinations. It is proven future workers will be 100 percent more productive if they complete their education. Malaysia's HCI of 0.62 means a child born today will be 62 percent more productive than if given a complete education and adequate health care. According to the results, national examination scores of children aged 12 and 17 are correlated. This study's limitation is that it did not cover the health aspects thoroughly. Therefore, future study should be directed at this area.
