The road to inclusive growth is paved with tackling inequalities in gender, geography and the rural-urban divide. Human capital investment, particularly through education, is critical to overcoming these challenges. This research highlights the transformative power of human capital investment across multiple realms. Using empirical models of causal analysis, it explores the relationship between education policies and socioeconomic outcomes, examining how education policies affect educational attainment, labor market dynamics, economic development, as well as marriage patterns. By dissecting these relationships, the study aims to show how human capital investment through education promotes sustainable development. Specific chapters examine the impact of educational interventions such as regional affirmative action and college expansion programs, highlighting their role in societal progress. It also underscores the fundamental importance of basic and tertiary education in laying the foundation for future human capital development by impacting labour market. This comprehensive analysis aims to contribute to academic knowledge and provide actionable insights for policymakers navigating the complexities of human capital reform for equitable and sustainable development.</p> Development economics Human capital Labour market Education College expansion Affirmative action School merger Dewey 330 114 Institute of Economics and Econometrics S2 false 38cc56e6-792b-4d27-9c9d-1b6b9734688f Thesis Public Chen_JIANG_Thesis_Archive_UNIGE.pdf 5421597 application/pdf 9a027e6a5991e182633b22c4bbbfa4e79a1bae768c834dc4428a425b5a72829e e3be119e-7c63-4cdf-b61a-dc5bccacfc38 Imprimatur Public JIANG Chen_Imprimatur.pdf 82514 application/pdf eece6c4906f2751db3575d13b4bf2b3ce66f6c4e679fef8280d9fe0677c12670 openAccess Faculté d'économie et de management / Institute of Economics and Econometrics
