The brief estimates Brazil at 55% productivity relative to the benchmark, compares it with regional and income-group averages, and tracks change from 2010 to 2020. It reports survival to age 5, expected and learning-adjusted schooling, test scores, adult survival, gender/component disaggregation limits, and resource use for health, education, and social assistance pre-COVID-19.","Brazil  \nHuman Capital Index 2020  \nThis brief provides an update to the Human Capital Index (HCI) . First launched in 2018, the HCI measures the amount of human capital that a child born today can expect to attain by age 18 . It conveys the productivity of the next generation of workers compared to a benchmark of complete education and full health. Worldwide a child born in 2020 can expect, on average, to be 56 percent as productive as she could be when she grows up. All data represent the status of countries pre-COVID-19 .  \nTHE HUMAN CAPITAL INDEX  \nHuman Capital Index. A child born in Brazil today will be 55 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. This is lower than the average for LatinAmerica & Caribbean region and Upper middle income countries. Between 2010 and 2020, the HCI value for Brazil increased from 0.53 to 0.55 . Figure 1 shows how the HCI and each of the components evolved over time.  \n• Probability of Survival to Age 5. 99 out of 100 children born in Brazil survive to age 5 .  \n• Expected Years of School. In Brazil, a child who starts school at age 4 can expect to complete 11.9 years of school by her 18th birthday.  \n• Harmonized Test Scores. Students in Brazil score 413 on a scale where 625 represents advanced attainment and 300 represents minimum attainment.  \n• Learning-adjusted Years of School. Factoring in what children actually learn, expected years of school is only 7.9 years.  \n• Adult Survival Rate. Across Brazil, 86 percent of 15-year olds will survive until age 60 . This statistic is a proxy for the range of health risks that a child born today would experience as an adult under current conditions.  \n• Healthy Growth (Not Stunted Rate). Data on stunting are not available for Brazil.  \nDIFFERENCES IN HCIACROSS GENDER AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUPS  \nIn Brazil, lack of data prevents comparison ofHCI by gender. Table 1 shows gender disaggregation for each of the HCI components, where available.  \nIn Brazil, there are not sufficient data to disaggregate HCI by socioeconomic groups.  \n\n| Table 1.
