ABSTRACT
A nation can not experience economic growth with
out human capital. And for human capital to actually have any impact on
economic growth some investments have to be made. Investment in human
capital consists of; investment in education, training, health and other
social services that will help in enhancing the productive capacity of
labour. This project examines the impact of human of capital on
economic growth in Nigeria from 1977-2004. The study used the ordinary
least square technique (OLS) to determine the relationship between
human capital and economic growth. The research result shows that
foreign direct investment does not have much impact on economic growth
while human capital which was proxied by total government expenditure,
labour and gross capital formation, has an impact on economic growth.
Comparing Nigeria to most countries we can see that the rate of
investment in human capital is low. Therefore in order to increase its
formation and thereby accelerate economic growth, much attention should
be paid to expenditure on education, health and other socio-economic
infrastructure that will enhance the productivity of labour. Attempts
should be made t restructure the educational system too meet the
challenges of the society. The government should furthermore try to
ensure a stable macroeconomic environment that will encourage increased
investment in human capital by private bodies, religious organization
and individuals.
