This study aims at investigating how English proficiency affects economic development of a country by analyzing the relationships among English proficiency, economic activities (amount of trade, R&D investment, etc), and the rate of economic growth, focusing on twenty-one non-English-speaking OECD countries. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimation (SURE) were used for the data analysis in the study. The findings reveals that there existed little statistical significance to support the fact that English proficiency was directly related to the economic development in a positive way in many countries except Mexico, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Poland. However, English proficiency indirectly influenced the economic development in the way of increasing the amount of trade. These results can lead to the conclusion that English proficiency is not a sufficient element but a necessary one. Furthermore, it is expected that English proficiency can positively affect the economic development when it plays a part as sufficient complementary goods which make up for physical capital, technology accumulation, political stability, and worthy government.

The wage effects of the basic job skills are insignificant, and the economic effects of basic job skills appear apparently in the entry into the good jobs. As the basic job skills can play a important role to enter into the good jobs, the policy agenda should make deal with the methods and programs through which the people without basic job skills must have the opportunities to get a lifelong learning for the basic job skills.

대한양계협회 닭경제능력검정소에서 실시한 산란계경제능력검정결과를 보면 최근의 산란계 능력은 72주까지 산란지수가 267개로 나타나고 있다. 10년전이 77년 산란계 72주까지의 산란지수 227개에 비하면 18$\%$가 향상되었음을 보여준다. 성계생존율 또한 88.2$\%$에서 92.0$\%$로 약 4$\%$가 향상되었다. 대체적으로 10여년간에 걸쳐 산란계의 능력이 눈에 띌 만큼 향상되었다고 보는데 최근에 산란계 관리가 미흡하여 계군의 산란피크가 80$\%$를 넘기기 어려운 농장이 나타나고 있어 90년도를 향한 봄병아리의 입추시에는 보다 철저한 사양관리를 위한 준비해야 한다.
