Children and youth in human resources development and planning

Abstract

Development planning aims at the efficient use of scarce resources material and human - in order to raise the level of living of a population. This development process entails growth and change - growth in the goods and services at the disposal of the individual and change in the institutions and environment of the society. Man can therefore be considered as the object and subject of development. As a matter of fact, economic activities, to lead to self-sustaining growth, should be based on and supported by one primordial factor, the factor of human resources.
