This study examines the impact of human capital on economic growth in 48 African countries from 2000 to 2019. The methodological approach involves the system GMM technique to address the problem of potential sources of endogeneity. The findings reveal that economic growth in Africa is positively influenced by human capital development. The findings also indicate that both the male and the female genders for human capital development are important for the economic growth of African countries. Similarly, internet penetration and foreign direct investments interact with human capital to produce positive net effects on economic growth. The study recommends policymakers attribute more resources to the education and health sectors to enhance human capital development as a prerequisite to ensure a stable economic growth.

本研究考察了2000年至2019年期间48个非洲国家人力资本对经济增长的影响。研究方法采用系统广义矩估计技术来解决潜在内生性来源问题。研究结果表明，非洲的经济增长受到人力资本发展的积极影响。研究结果还表明，人力资本发展中的男性和女性对非洲国家的经济增长都很重要。同样，互联网普及率和外国直接投资与人力资本相互作用，对经济增长产生积极的净效应。该研究建议政策制定者将更多资源投入教育和卫生部门，以加强人力资本发展，作为确保经济稳定增长的先决条件。
