Anvisha [2.4K]
To measure the amount of human capital available in a country, it would be best to determine the literacy rate of that country.

These elements include the number of people with higher education in a country, students, academics, research activity, the degree of utilization of potential labor resources, etc. Once the identification process is done, you have to select the variables which are quite related to the human capital, which includes the number of university students for 10,000 people, employment in Research and development per 1,000 economically active people.</span>

How did people spend there time in the Indus river valley in 2500 BC and today. Please Help
makvit [3.9K]
I've had to do this so I know that:
--2500 BC--
Back in 2500 BC people spent there time in the Indus River Valley by farming (which the women did), hunting down for food  (which the men did) while sometimes teaching their sons to do so as well, and getting water from the to rivers of Mesopotamia. (The Tigris river and the Euphrates river).
--Today--
But nowadays people still live there (I think) and do the same but of course don't hunt for food because there are supermarkets and they get water there as well but many people may still get water from the river.

I hope this helped! If it did, ask me more questions and I will be sure to answer them! :)
