Human Development Index As An Effort To Increase Economic Growth

Abstract

Human development is the primary goal of the political, social, and economic process for a country. The concept of human development is in line with the concept of human capital. The reasons why human development needs attention are: first, many developing countries including Indonesia have succeeded in achieving economic growth, but have failed to reduce socio-economic inequality and poverty. Second, many developed countries that have high-income levels have not succeeded in reducing social problems. Third, some low-income countries can achieve high levels of human development because they can use all resources wisely to develop basic human abilities. Economic growth is more than just an increase in income and more than just the process of commodity production and capital accumulation. The analytical approach used in this research is quantitative data analysis. The entire data processing and analysis process in this study was carried out with the help of the computer program eViews 10 for Windows.
