The performance of human capital in relationship with economic growth

In this paper I examine the impact of human capital on the economic growth for the OECD countries during the period 1990-2022 employing fixed effects estimator. My contribution to the literature comes from the chosen variables, as the proxies selected were not yet used by other researchers in the same formula. The indicators selected are tertiary enrollment, spending on health, life expectancy and population growth. The data was constructed into a panel of 38 countries over the period 1990-2022. Results surprisingly show that only tertiary enrollment, life expectancy and population growth have a significant impact on economic growth. Therefore, my recommendations are focusing on improving the quality of life.
