Recently some international tests were conducted to make comparisons of the numeracy level among different countries. Human capital is a long term economic growth factor. To quantify human capital, various indicators are composed: adult literacy rate, school enrolment rate, etc. These human capital indicators facilitate researchers to analyze the correlation between human capital quality and economic performance of a certain economy. Age heaping, an indicator normally used in demography to check the reliability of a census, is a possible human capital indicator. It can reflect the numeracy level of the researched population. It is shown that for little educated populations, age heaping is a possible human capital indicator, which reflects the human capital level of the researched population.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45553288970391,"sku":"9783668360785","price":2258.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783668360785.webp?v=1767180610","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/numeracy-human-capital-and-economic-growth-9783668360785","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
