Preliminary scope of work

I plan to investigate differences in effects of human capital in developing countries across the globe. In contrast to previous literature in the field I plan to address larger amount of data in more countries and more contrasting environments (according to World Bank (actual) GDP per capita in Indonesia is about twice as big as in Ghana and about four times bigger than in Bangladesh, not mentioning its vast political, infrastructural and foremost cultural differences). This will enable me to give more precise explanation then previously assessed as to reasons behind the differences in size of effects of particular type of human capital. This could give policy makers and charity project planners hints as to where should help be addressed in developing countries in order to improve productivity of local workforce.
