Education and Skills in Argentina - Assessing Argentina's Stock of Human Capital

Overview In many ways, Argentina's education system has succeeded in creating a stock of human capital, which, by and large, meets the needs of the economy. Still, the education system has not succeeded in creating human resources, which enable Argentina to develop into a knowledge based economy. Instead the economy continues to be dominated by low-tech, knowledge extensive industries, which consider the current stock of human capital as largely sufficient (as documented by IMD survey data, for example). This assumption receives further support from the fact that a large part of Argentine researchers are unable to find employment. In other words, there is no strong demand for analytical skills, flexibility and the ability to solve problems independently.
