उत्तर
Economic growth and human capital are connected. It is accelerated by human capital formation. Human capital formation and economic growth are related by the following principles.
- Increase in the productivity of physical capital: Physical capital involves goods that are produced. It includes machinery, production facilities, equipment, and tools. Beyond enhancing productivity, trained personnel manage productive assets to maximize the utilization of physical capital. Productivity boosts growth naturally.
- Innovation of skills: An educated person is more productive and skillful. He has the potential to develop new skills and innovate techniques that are more efficient and productive. The greater the number of skilled and trained personnel, the greater the probability of innovations.
- High participation rate and equality: Human capital with technical skills and innovation capacity is more productive and efficient. More people participate in economic growth and development. Higher participation rates increase national social and economic equality.
- Improved health outcomes: Health investments enhance the population's overall well-being. A healthy worker has fewer sick days and is more productive.
- Enhanced entrepreneurship: Education and training encourage entrepreneurship and employment development by equipping people with the skills and information needed to launch and run firms.
- Higher income and savings: Higher salaries from a trained and productive workforce encourage more savings and investment, which boosts economic growth even more.
Therefore, we can deduce that economic growth and human capital are closely related. Economic growth is facilitated by human capital formation, and human capital formation promotes economic growth.
