The Republic of Moldova was placed<\/a> on the 62nd place (out of 130) in the Human Capital Index<\/a> published by the World Economic Forum. It received the general score of 62,29, situated above the average.<\/p>\n

The Deployment scored at 64,5 (72nd place) because of low labor force participation rate (56,8% for 25-54 age group), no significant employment gender gaps (lowest ration of employed women to men- 0,69) and relatively low unemployment and underemployment\u00a0rates.<\/p>\n
