Abstract

This chapter establishes an empirical relationship among per capita national income, human capital formation and language situation in Sub-Saharan Africa. We find that both the use of local and official languages contribute to increased human capital which further induce income growth. However, in a highly diverse context promoting the official language seems to be a more cost-efficient way to increase human capital and income.
