Mauritius is ranked 1st in Sub-Saharan Africa and is placed at the 47th position worldwide according to the Human Capital Index (HCI) report 2013 of the World Economic Forum (WEF) released last week.
The Index measures countries on their ability to develop and deploy healthy, educated and able workers through four distinct pillars: Education; Health and Wellness; Workforce and Employment; and Enabling Environment. HCI finds Mauritius the highest ranked in the Sub-Saharan region and also among the top 50 worldwide. Other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that have achieved fairly good performances are Botswana and Kenya at the 2nd and 3rd position with a worldwide ranking of 79 and 81 respectively.
According to the Index, Mauritius has recorded good performances in the overall indicators on Education (50), Health and Wellness (45), Workforce and Employment (64) and Enabling Environment (49) which have contributed positively in making the country featured among the top 50s.
The World Economic Forum’s Human Capital Index assesses 122 countries by measuring contributors to the development of a healthy, educated and able labour force.
