Abstract EN

Investing in human capital is a renewable energy source that can be relied on to achieve development goals and economic growth.

The aim of this research is to demonstrate the measurement of the impact of human capital on economic growth in Iraq for the period (1990-2018).

To achieve this goal, the research relied on a descriptive and analytical approach based on time series data and the use of my method (ARDL), (OLS).

Finally, the research concluded that, despite wars and political and security instability, human capital contributed to economic growth in Iraq over the period (1990-2018) in the short and long term, but at different levels.

The increase in means years of schooling and life expectancy has led to an increase in indicators of economic growth in Iraq during the research period, as a result of which the increase in expenditure on education has had a positive effect on GDP per capital and Gross Domestic Product.

It is therefore necessary to continue increasing expenditure on education at different stages, to set priorities for investment in education, to improve the quality of education and to develop different educational curricula in order to increase the contribution of human capital to economic growth.
