   Hello...   
      
      
   USA has to adapt and improve quickly in education and health care, read   
   the following to understand more:   
      
   The United States ranks 27th in the world for its investments in   
   education and health care as measurements of its commitment to economic   
   growth, according to the first-ever scientific study ranking countries   
   for their levels of human capital.   
      
   The nation placed just behind Australia (ranked 26th) and just ahead of   
   Czech Republic (ranked 28th). In contrast, China's ranking of 44th in   
   2016 represents an increase from its 1990 ranking of 69th.   
      
   "The decline of human capital in the United States was one of the   
   biggest surprises in our study," said Dr. Christopher Murray, director   
   of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the   
   University of Washington. "Our findings show the association between   
   investments in education and health and improved human capital and GDP   
   -- which policymakers here in the US ignore at their own peril. As the   
   world economy grows increasingly dependent on digital technology, from   
   agriculture to manufacturing to the service industry, human capital   
   grows increasingly important for stimulating local and national economies."   
      
   The World Bank President, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, defines human capital as   
   "the sum total of a population's health, skills, knowledge, experience,   
   and habits." It is a concept that recognizes that not all labor is   
   equal, and the quality of workers can be improved by investing in them.   
      
   The US's ranking of 27th in 2016 represents a significant decrease from   
   its 1990 ranking of 6th. It comes from having 23 years of expected human   
   capital, measured as the number of years a person can be expected to   
   work in the years of peak productivity, taking into account life   
   expectancy, functional health, years of schooling, and learning.   
      
   Researchers found that nations with greater improvements in human   
   capital also tend to have faster growth in per capita GDP. Countries in   
   the highest quartile of improvements in human capital between 1990 and   
   2016 had a 1.1% higher median yearly GDP growth rate than countries in   
   the bottom quartile of human capital improvements. For example, between   
   2015 and 2016, a 1.1% increase in the human capital growth rate in China   
   equated to an additional $163 per capita; in Turkey, $268 per capita;   
   and in Brazil, $177 per capita.
