A population becomes human capital when education and health let them contribute to the economy, not just be counted. The NCERT two-family example shows how an educated family invests in children’s health and learning, creating a cycle of progress, while an illiterate one stays trapped. Literacy figures matter because they measure who can break that cycle. But from my kitchen, I see the trap is tighter than any textbook—my own mustard oil calculations mean some months, the neighbour’s bright daughter leaves school to help her mother roll *papads*, no matter what the district’s improved literacy poster says.
