In the African nation of Senegal, to enroll in school a child needs a Birth Certificate that costs $25 . This price is several weeks' income for many families. Explain how this requirement is likely to affect the growth of human capital in Senegal
What will be an ideal response?
Human capital growth depends, in part, on the extent of school-ing: More schooling means more human capital. Because of Senegal's hefty fee for a required Birth Certificate, fewer children will enroll in school, thereby decreasing Senegal's human capital growth.
