Child health is increasingly recognized as 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 lecture 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.
