Toward Lasting, Significant Improvement in Our Socioeconomies

John F. Tomer

Chapter Chapter 9 in Integrating Human Capital with Human Development, 2016, pp 177-192 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The preceding chapters have made the case for a broader concept of human capital, that is, human capital (HC) integrated with human development. A number of chapters have explained how HC deficits are implicated in a number of modern societies’ most vexing social problems, in particular adverse childhood experiences, obesity, and chronic disease. And chapter 8 has explained about all the specific kinds of things that would need to be done to stem the tide of obesity. What is needed is a more general context to understand these problems involving HC deficits. Is there a common approach that can be used to remedy them? What should socioeconomic policy makers be doing that would lessen the likelihood of having to deal with these kinds of problems?
