According to the World Economic Forum, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, and the United States have the best trained workers. Argentina, Chile Mexico and Brazil are the top countries in Latin America.

According to a report developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Argentina is the Latin American country in the highest position in the ranking of the countries that better train their citizens to access the labor market.

According to this report, Argentina is number 52 in the global ranking, closely followed by Chile (no. 53).

In addition, Peru (66) and Colombia (68), bet the two largest Latin American economies, as Brazil and Mexico were no. 69 and no.77 respectively.

Venezuela (94) and Honduras (101), were the worst ranked Latin American countries.

Norway, Finland, Switzerland, and the United States lead the global ranking, being the countries that provide the best training to their citizens in order to access the labor market.

Europe is the region that best connects education and work. Countries such as Germany (6), Holland (13), and Belgium (15) particularly stand out. However, countries located around the Mediterranean were not so successful: Portugal (43), Spain (44), and Greece (48) are a clear example.

China got the highest score among emerging countries, ranking no. 34, quite a remarkable result when compared to Brazil, India, or South Africa.

The worst ranked countries on a global level were Mauritania (129) and Yemen (130).

The WEF pointed out that only 62% of human capital is used in the world. The organization believes that the reason is that there is an inefficient transmission of knowledge, failure to teach skills focused on the future and mistakes in the provision of additional training for workers. It also states that investments on education tend not to result on very qualified and well paid workers, which worsens wage inequities.
