The aim of this study is to show that it can. Human capital formation is a key element in a development strategy that includes natural resource conservation within the framework of sustained economic growth and poverty alleviation. Consequently, it is not by chance that Guatemala is experiencing both minimal per capital income growth and high deforestation while having one of the lowest educational levels in Latin America. However, since many assumptions about educational benefits are controversial and many aspects depend on broader issues, human capital formation can only be one piece in a multidimensional puzzle. This study is organized into three parts, each one of which can be read independently: first, a macroeconomic assessment of education and other factors involved in the country’s growth trajectory; second, a rural analysis indicating the root causes of deforestation and the role education can play to slow down habitat loss; third, the highlighting of some elements indispensable to reform and to subsequent improvement of the quality of rural schooling.Goettinger Studien zur Entwicklungsoekonomik / Goettingen Studies in Development Economics vol. 13Economic Growth, Biodiversity Conservation, and the Formation of Human Capital in a Developing CountryLiteratureEducationPolitical scienceEconomic growthDevelopment economicsEnvironmental economicsIndustrial managementArmutBildungspolitikBiodiversitätBiodiversityCapitalCaseConservationCountryDevelopingEconomicFormationForstwirtschaftGrowthGuatemalaHumanLöningNatürliche RessourcenWirtschaftliches WachstumWirtschaftswachstumZentralamerikaLiterature.Education.Political science.Economic growthDevelopment economics.Environmental economics.Industrial management.Löning Ludger J1426247MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910297045003321Economic Growth, Biodiversity Conservation, and the Formation of Human Capital in a Developing Country3557474UNINA
