Child health is increasingly understood to be a critical form of human capital, but only recently have we begun to understand how valuable it is and how its development could be better supported. This article provides an overview of recent work that demonstrates the key role of public insurance in supporting longer term human capital development and points to improvements in child mental health as an especially important mechanism.
儿童健康越来越被视为一种重要的人力资本形式，但直到最近我们才开始了解其价值所在，以及如何更好地支持其发展。本文概述了最近的研究工作，这些工作表明公共保险在支持长期人力资本发展方面发挥着关键作用，并指出改善儿童心理健康是一个特别重要的机制。
