Current Economic Situation

The acceleration of changes underlines the need to enhance our efforts to adapt education to the dynamics of the current economic situation and the issue of employment. In the framework of the circular economy, pedagogy, which is based on the educability of individuals, takes into consideration forms of educational planning to identify a long-lasting balance between economic prosperity, social wellness, and environmental development. The challenge of the future is the possibility of increasing youth employment; this calls for pedagogical expertise and organizational planning to ensure that everyone’s development is authentic and holistic. To this end, the MSc Degree programme in Educational Planning and Human Resource Development offered by the Catholic University trains graduates to become professional figures with expertise in coordinating and managing the development of human resources (guidance, selection, personal services); the professional training and retraining of project managers in social and educational contexts for both academic and corporate spheres. The guiding vision behind the MSc in Educational Planning and Human Resource Development is fully in line with the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart’s educational project, to support a culture of responsibility and creativity, entrepreneurism and collaboration, multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills, and scientific research for the purpose of holistic human development. Educational planning, in a period of socio-economic and social change, involving the whole planet in many respects, can relaunch an ‘integral model of development’, based on long-term wellbeing, technological innovation, ‘human development’, and the dignity of work

Human resource development (HRD) is the process of increasing knowledge, skills and capacities of employees. It is concerned with preparing employee to work effectively and efficiently in the organization. It is a complementary approach to other development strategies, particularly employment and reduction of inequalities. It also considers HRD as synonymous with human development, which encompasses education, training, health, nutrition, and fertility reduction. It ensures that organizations have adequate human resources with capabilities needed for achieving goals. This article has tried to explore the practices and relation between HRD and performance of Nepal Rastra Bank.

The paper assesses trends in poverty and improvements in the material conditions of life of millions of people living in poverty and human deprivation. It discusses the growth and poverty dimensions and associated structural problems. Determinants of poverty in Pakistan are discussed with a view to identify areas of intervention and public policies. Poverty reduction and human development programmes are discussed to show that pumping financial resources to address the issue of poverty is not a correct strategy for poverty reduction and human resource development. The paper discusses the poverty reduction strategy to assess government commitment to poverty reduction and human resource development in a sustainable manner. It concludes that poverty reduction and human development in Pakistan is dependent on many factors particularly the strengthening of institutional capacity and availability of human and financial resources.

The Relationship

Societal and global advancement increasingly depends upon research, invention, innovation and adaptation; all of these are products of educated mind. Education is public good in LDCs and need Government involvement to function effectively. National Education Policies of India in 1968, 1986 and 1992 (revised) have recommended 6% of GDP to spend on education which unfortunately was on an average 3.77% in last one and half decade. This insufficient funding can be considered as one of the factors for India’s low ranking in terms of Human Development Index. Descriptive and analytical methods are used to study the relationship between Public Education expenditure and Human Resource Development of India by using the secondary data collected through the reliable sources like Ministry of human resource development and Human Development reports published by UNDP. To analyse the relationship between spending by the Government on education and improvement in quality of Human resource, Granger Causality Test is applied. The results of the study show the influence of Public education expenditure on Human Resource Development in India.

The Problem The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a stark light on workplace inequities and injustices. Aside from disrupting daily routines and ways of working, the pandemic has unmasked significant and troubling differences in the treatment and status of productive and reproductive labor. As we recover from the pandemic, how can workplaces properly recognize and value the contribution of reproductive labor? The Recommendation We focus on ethics of care as a foundational aspect of learning and human development. Care is proximal and contextual and expressions of care require managers and HRD professionals to engage with and address employees’ needs in a way that recognizes the complexity of individual situations. This may lead to the transformation of work and workplaces and bring employees into a more participatory, inclusive and democratic relationship with employers. We offer four suggestions for how HRD practitioners can practically embed an ethics of care approach within organizations. The Stakeholders This article is relevant to human resource development (HRD) scholars and practitioners who are interested in building sustainable, caring and healthy workplaces in a post-pandemic world.

Development Literature

In the recent literature on development economics, the adjective 'human' is encountered with increasing frequency. On the one hand, the 'human resource-led development (HRLD) strategies' of the kind that were presumably adopted by the Newly Industrialized Countries of Asia are being increasingly cast as the leading means of achieving rapid economic growth. And on the other hand, in a manner that is reminiscent of the 'growth versus distribution' debate of the early 1970s, we are being urged to set our goals more in terms of broad 'human development' of the society rather than merely its 'economic growth'. These new trends in the economic development literature are evident from the contents ofthe recent academic journals as well as from the activities of the various international organizations. The World Bank's choice of 'Poverty' as the theme for its 1990 World Development Report, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission's April 1988 pronouncement of the 'Jakarta Plan of Action' regarding human resource development in the ESCAP region, the United Nations Development Programme's recent Human Development Report, and the Asian Development Bank's analysis of the role of human resources in economic growth in its 1990 Asian Economic Outlook are cases in point.

Public Education Expenditure

There was always a gap between recommendations and implementations especially in case of public expenditure on education which has serious implications on human resource development of the country. Lack of funding is one of the serious concerns which may also be reason for low ranking of India in terms of Human Development Index. It can be easily observed that the total state expenditure on education in the country has hung around 3% of GDP, far below the 6% of GDP as resolved by the National Education Policies. Descriptive method is used to study the relation between Education expenditure by the Government and Human Resource Development of India by using the secondary data collected through the reliable and authenticated sources like Union Budgets of India and Human Development reports published by UNDP. Granger Causality Test is applied to examine the causal relation between the Public Education Expenditure and Human Resource Development. Multiple regression analysis is used to analyse the contribution of education in Human Development Index. The result of the study will help to understand the Government’s role in Human Resource Development through expenditure on education.
