CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

In the global terms, knowledge on all ramification of human endeavor, be it engineering, marketing, medicine and so on, is the pivot upon which the fulcrum of wisdom gravitate. This accounts for the differences in development on the private life and national life of individuals and the nations all over the world.

No country has achieved sustained economic development without substantial investment in human capital. Several studies have evolved to analyze the channel through which humancapital can affect growth (Barro, et al, 1995; Temple, 1990).

However, human capital development has been described as an end or objective of development. It is a way to fulfill the potential of people by enlarging their capability and this necessarily implies empowerment of people, enabling them to participate actively in their own development.

Human capital is also a means since it enhances their skills, knowledge, productivity and intensiveness of people through a process of human capital development formation broadlyconceived. Thus, human capital development is people centered strategy and not goods centered or production centered strategy of development. What truly matters is the empowerment of people to identify their own priorities and to implement programmes and projects of direct benefit to them.

The impact of social spending on economic growth is gaining prominence in the literature. It is becoming increasingly important to investigate the effect of good public health system andquantitative education on the economic growth of nations of the world.

Productivity has long been linked to both quality health care and good education. Basic education is critical to participation and productivity in economic life. A healthy labour forceincrease both the amount of growth realized from establishing a sound investment climate and strongly reinforce the poverty reduction benefits from that growth. This example ofeducation clearly shows that the two pillars of investment climate and development are closely connected to support each oilier.

Todaro (2000) states that education serves the dual purpose of increasing both empowerment and economic growth. In the first instance, education allows people to be more aware of theirresponsibility and their fundamental and qualified rights. It opens up an opportunity to know how to do things better.

This in turn not only increases individual income, it increases that of the nation and this economic growth aims to improving people's life. However, it does not mean education provision, there is the better societies need to look carefully at the nature and allocation of education provision in relation to the needs and aspiration of the society. Education indicates knowledge and. skills which raise productivity, but it can also perpetuate social, inequalitiesimpair values attitudes and aspirations that are not conducive to development.

Government expenditure lean toward teaching, hospital, tertiary e.t.c. Improvement in the could be either improving the income of the people so that they can obtain quality health care or improving the health care facilities.  Increasing the income of the people to provide for themselves quality health care has been found to be tremendous benefit to the people of the third world countries e.g Nigeria. It has been potential positive impact on the national income of the nation.

1.1    STATEMENT OF THE STUDY

In every country of the world, human capital development has been world one of the main factor of economic growth and development and it is known that there cannot be significant economic growth in the country without adequate human capital. In the past, mush of the planning in Nigeria was centered on the accumulation of physical capital for rapid growth and development, without recognition of the important role played by the human capital development process.

Infact a country's most valuable assets are people and a defective incentive system can result in waste of human resources through human capital formation.

1.2   OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

Given the present state of manpower situation in Nigeria, the broad objective of the study is to examine the impact of human capital development on economic growth. Specifically, itaims at:

2       Ascertaining the effect of students enrollment on economic growth

1.2 JUSTIFICATIONS OF THE STUDY

Significantly, education and training contribute to workers stock of human capital - the knowledge and skill that make for a product  {GDP) in Nigeria.

However, improvements in labour account for about two-thirds of the increases in real Gross Domestic Products (GDP). Improved technology, more capital, greater education and training, economies of scale, and better resources allocation will be the main contribution to Nigeria growth if policy options emanating from this study are implemented. Moreimportantly, technological advancement is a critical engine of productivity growth and has accounted for the increase in output growth In Nigeria. Generally, technological advancement is generated from the discovery of new knowledge, which enables for resources to be combined in improves ways.

1.4     SCOPE OF THE STUDY

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
