Translating a country\u2019s economic growth into social and economic development is important. \u201cTherefore, as a government we encourage all types of capital \u2013 which generally serve their own interest groups \u2013 to generate links where there weren\u2019t any before,\u201d Crescimbeni says. She also believes a government\u2019s decision-making becomes purposeful when it put its capital to work empowering its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry She calls herself \u201cDiamond Baby\u201d because of Botswana\u2019s natural capital. The country\u2019s government is working to re-invest revenues from diamond, gold and coal mining into its people. \u201cAs hard capital depletes, the only thing you are left with is human capital.\u201d About 25% of government revenue is spent on education, and 20% on health. \u201cThat is the growth story of Botswana,\u201d Bogolo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adviser Power \u2013 and funding \u2013 should be devolved to smaller units of local government, Shankar says. Governments also play a role in developing human capital. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t say we spent 45% of our money in education and health,\u201d he argues. \u201cWe should say we invested 45% in education and health.\u201d Energy, air, water, data and mobility are not commodities, he says. Rather, they are public goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research Consultant Government should use capital in two ways, Varma says: First, focus on the most urgent problems, such as poverty. Second, governments should play a facilitating role with long-term goals in mind, coordinating the activities of civil society, business and NGOs. For example, she thinks that India\u2019s government should find ways to \u201cuse India\u2019s demographic dividend to its full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behavioral Science Consultant Investing in human capital is a priority. To do so, politicians should focus on reducing brain drain and youth unemployment. Also, Abendroth-Dias thinks it\u2019s important for governments to come up with localised solutions for social problems in agriculture, politics structures, urban planning, and healthcare through partnerships with private sectors and international NGOs such as the United Nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Camila Crescimbeni National Director of Youth InclusionArgentina Ministry of Social Development Translating a country\u2019s economic growth into social and economic development is important. \u201cTherefore, as a government we encourage all types of capital \u2013 which generally serve their own interest groups \u2013 to generate links where there weren\u2019t any before,\u201d Crescimbeni says.
