Kingdom scores low on human capital index
A report released on 28 June by the World Economic Forum underscores Cambodia’s poor performance at educating and training its citizens in order to develop a competitive workforce and put their skills to productive use. The Kingdom ranked 100th out of 130 countries in terms of human capital development, well below most of its regional peers, according to the Human Capital Report 2016. The relatively low level of hard skills may be discouraging international employers from recruiting here.
