The present study tries to explore the dynamic relationship between human capital formation and poverty mitigation by adopting the course of investment in education and health substances. For this sake, study takes heath expenditure and infant mortality rate as health indicators while status of education is captured with literacy rate and enrollment in higher education. Time series data is employed ranges from 1973-2013. The properties of time series data are inspected with the ADF test whilst PP test is employed for the robustness of unit root results. Mixed order of integration of data compels us to make use of ARDL technique for the estimation. Similarly, one unit change in health expenditures lead to reduce 0.251 units of poverty and one unit change in infant mortality cause to reduce poverty by 0.04 units. In last, one unit increase in literacy rate changes 1.03 units in poverty and one unit change in higher education results in 0.003 unit's change in poverty. The results of the study leave us with a clear finale for an optimal policy formulation that, Pakistan is in sturdy need of investment in health and education substances for a noteworthy accumulation of human capital for a right way poverty mitigation policy.

What are the mission and shape, structure and culture, purposes and ambitions of the university and college to be? What is it to be a university and college now—what are they seen ‘to be for’? What might change by 2050? Is it a matter of steady evolution, careful adaptation, gentle re-invention? Or a future of instability and disruptive innovation, radical change, absolute transformation? ‘Futures for the university and college’ considers these questions and suggests that—given the university and college’s role in human capital formation, and the sifting and signalling processes, both hard to replicate without a national higher education structure—it has a relatively assured future.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of interstate migration of individuals with different qualification levels on human capital formation in the migrant’s place of origin. Design/methodology/approach A dynamic panel model with data from the National Household Sample Survey (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD)), between 2001 and 2013, is used. Findings The results indicate that the migration of high-skilled people boosts school attendance in fifth grade elementary school and first year high school, but it does not affect the levels of those entering first year in higher education. However, the migration of low-skilled workers discourages people from entering higher education, as those living in less developed areas do not need higher education qualifications to get higher incomes. Thus, they migrate to developed areas with the education levels they already have. The brain gain hypothesis is not, therefore, confirmed in the context of higher education attendance. Originality/value This paper’s contribution is its investigation into the effect of interstate migration on human capital formation in Brazil, through testing the brain gain hypothesis in a national context. In addition, it also analyzes the impact of the migration of people of low and intermediate qualification levels on human capital, with a view to verifying if the mobility of people with other levels of qualification could discourage the formation of human capital.
