Although the importance of different levels of human capital is most evident in the labour market, where differences are often reflected in income, the concept has a wider relevance. Investment in the health of an individual has obvious benefits for society at large, not least with respect to welfare payments, as do the skills and talents which individuals are able to bring to bear in the general fields of leisure and recreation. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Social Costs and Benefits of Migration into Australia, p. 25-47 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISBN: | 1920996079 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160403 Social and Cultural Geography | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 940111 Ethnicity, Multiculturalism and Migrant Development and Welfare | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/35584032 http://www.immi.gov.au/media/publications/research/social-costs-benefits/chapter_3-6.pdf |
