The analysis identifies core development bottlenecks across weak governance, ineffective service delivery, demographic pressures, low and inefficient spending, and socio-cultural norms. It also assesses how COVID-19 affected human capital outcomes and examines inequality of opportunities to build human capital.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \n2021  \nLiberia Human  \nCapital Assessment  \nfrom Constraints to Opportunities  \nReport No: AUS0002300  \n© 2021 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nSome rights reserved  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.
