EXTERNALITES DU CAPITAL HUMAIN ET MORTALITE INFANTILE EN ZONE CEMAC

E. NKALE BOUGHA OBOUNA

Résumé


Le capital humain, en particulier dans sa composante éducation, est bien connu pour avoir de nombreux effets bénéfiques (Munich et al., 2018 ; McMahon, 2018). Dans la littérature, un certain consensus est établi, quant au fait que l’éducation bénéficie à la personne grâce à la hausse de ses revenus. Mais l’investissement, dans le capital humain, produit également des effets externes ou des externalités sous la forme de nombreux avantages apportés à la société, mais qui restent insuffisamment mis en évidence. L’objet de notre étude est principalement de rendre compte de l’existence d’externalités du capital humain pour la mortalité infantile dans le cadre des pays de la CEMAC. Les résultats obtenus confirment la présence d’externalités du capital humain débouchant sur une réduction de la mortalité infantile.
