This study analysed the impact of education human capital development on economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2020. The study specifically used secondary school enrolment as a comprehensive measure of education human capital, while life expectancy at birth was used as a measure of health human capital. By employing annual secondary time series data, the research aimed to assess the relationship between education human capital and economic growth in Nigeria. The data, obtained from the World Development Indicators of the World Bank, were subjected to appropriate descriptive and econometric techniques, including the Autoregressive Distributive Lag method. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between education human capital development, as measured by secondary school enrolment, and economic growth in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that government expenditures be directed towards human capital development, with a particular emphasis on education, to promote increased, sustainable, and equitable economic growth. In summary, this research highlights the importance of gender analysis in understanding the effects of human capital developments on economic growth in Nigeria. By recognizing the specific impact of education and health on economic growth, policymakers can make informed decisions to foster sustainable economic development.

This study empirically estimated the long-run and short-run impact of federal government human capital spending on human capital development in Nigeria. The study was motivated by the fact that despite growth in public spending in the past decade Nigeria still ranks low in human capital development. Time series data from 1990-2015 was collected and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and Bounds test were used to estimate the short-run and long-run relationships respectively. The Bounds test was used to determine that a long-run relationship exists between Human Development Index (HDI) and government human capital spending while controlling for macroeconomic state of the economy using economic growth and inflation rate. The study finds that 1-year and 2-year lags of government recurrent education expenditure has weak significant negative impact on HDI rather than the expected positive impact. Only government recurrent health spending has positive impact on human capital development up to the 2-year lag. The speed of adjustment of the short-run relations is 41% significant at 5% level. The results demonstrated that both in the long and short run, government health spending has remained positive but to a very large extent insignificant to human capital development in Nigeria; whereas government education spending has not produced the desired positive impact on human capital development in Nigeria. This accounts for the low HDI of Nigeria over the years. The study therefore concludes that human capital development could be achieved through more efficient health spending in Nigeria. This study therefore strongly recommends that federal government should raise substantially the level of capital spending on education and health in order to achieve meaningful human capital development in Nigeria.

This paper analyzes the impact of human capital on growth, on the basis of refined calculations of human capital, and with a focus on West Africa. Using a growth-accounting methodology, it distinguishes the sources of growth between the accumulation of factors of production and changes in production intensity or efficiency. Private capital is found to be particularly important to growth, but human capital appears not to be significant. The paper also identifies the terms of trade, trade openness, the government deficit, and the share of government investment in total investment as key policy variables affecting growth.

Human capital formation involves investment in education, training, health and other social services that will enhance the productive capacity of labour. This paper examines the impact of human capital formation on the economic growth of Nigeria from 1975-2008. The study used co integration and error correction mechanisms to determine the relationship between human capital formation and economic growth. Unit root tests conducted on key variables shows that they are stationary in their first difference, and are also co integrated.. The results further indicate that human capital formation, measured by investment in physical capital, is a good predictor of economic growth. Based on the result , it is therefore recommended that government should increase its expenditure on education, health and other social and economic infrastructure that will enhance the productivity capacity of labour. Furthermore, an attempt should also be made to restructure the educational system to meet the challenges of the society, provide adequate incentives in terms of job opportunities, enhance wage structure and improve working conditions to individuals as well as provision of stable macroeconomic environment that will encourage increased investment in education and training by the organized private sector, religious bodies, and individuals.

This edited collection explores the links between human capital (both in the form of health and in the form of education), demographic change, and economic growth. Using empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, the authors investigate several important issues in the context of human capital, namely population ageing, inequality, public policy, and long-term economic development. Ultimately, they demonstrate that the accumulation of human capital is of crucial importance to long-run economic growth.

The perceptible contribution of human capital in economic growth in an economy cannot be exaggerated. Human capital is the essential resource needed in every sector of an economy. Unfortunately, for many decades human capital development has been saddled with multifarious challenges that has hampered economic growth in many economies; with less developed economies suffering the effect of poorly developed human capital the most.This study was conducted to investigate the impact of human capital on economic growth in West Africa, specifically Ghana over a period of 40 years. The researchers used secondary data on human capital development and economic growth that was extracted from the economic data of Ghana Statistical Service, the World Bank, journals of economic studies and the Bank of Ghana Research Unit. The researchers applied ordinary least squares regression to estimate the models and also perform data analysis. In the end, it was found out that human capital whether it is developed or under developed has a tremendous impact on the growth of an economy both in the short and long term. The findings of this study hold important policy implications for countries in West Africa, specifically Ghana.
