Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To attract direct foreign investment that creates high-skill jobs, countries need to have a high human capital, which includes the education and skills of the workforce. Developed and highly educated countries also have a high human capital, but it is not necessary that countries invest less in education or have high illiteracy rates to be attractive sites for direct foreign investment. A low-skill-high-wage workforce may attract some types of foreign investment, but it would not necessarily create high-skill jobs.
