The Internal Structure of Human Capital of China's Economic Growth

In the process of economic development, professional human capital plays a key role and general human capital plays a supporting role. The both of them have a different impact on economic growth. This paper divides the human capital into professional human capital and general human capital according to the difference between the proportion of educated population at different levels, through the quantile regression, and has empirically studied the relationship between human capital at different levels and economic growth on the panel data of 30 provinces (except Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Tibet) in China from 1998 to 2015. The results have shown that the increase of internal structure of human capital plays a positive role in promoting economic growth, and the positive effect of internal structure of human capital on the economic growth is decreased with the increase of the quantile.
