Abstract:
The empirical analysis presented in this paper deals with the relation between human resources, in both healthcare and education, and economic growth. This relation is strongly favored in both the Islamic and Capitalist ideologies. Data were gathered from 39 Muslim and non-Muslim third-world countries throughout the period of 1990 to 2006. The empirical model applied was derived from the model introduced by Lee and Hwongusing the compound data method in said period.In this model, human resources include those in the education and health departments. Two indicators were used in the health district and one in that of education. Overall, empirical evidence gathered by this research demonstrates that a variable pool of human resources affects economic growth in this group of countries. However, education has a stronger and more significant effect on economic growth as opposed to healthcare.

Title :نقش بهداشت و آموزش در رشد اقتصادی برخی کشور‌های در حال توسعه (1990ـ2006)
Abstract:
بر اساس نظریه توسعه انسانی، رابطه مستقیمی میان ارتقاء سرمایه انسانی و رشد و توسعه وجود دارد. این نکته که سرمایه گذاری در آموزش و بهداشت نیروی انسانی می تواند به پیشرفت و توسعه کمک نماید ،هم در اقتصاد متعارف و هم اقتصاد اسلامی مورد تاکید قرار گرفته است. این مقاله برای بررسی این فرضیه، به تحلیل تجربی رابطه میان سرمایه انسانی- مشتمل بر جنبه های آموزشی و بهداشتی - و رشد اقتصادی می پردازد. برای این منظور، داده های 39 کشور درحال توسعه مسلمان و غیر مسلمان، طی دوره زمانی 2006-1990 با استفاده از روش داده های ترکیبی و در قالب مدل تجربی ارائه شده توسط لی و هوانگ مورد تحلیل قرار گرفته است. در این الگو، سرمایه انسانی که شامل مولفه های آموزش و بهداشت می شود، با دو شاخص برای بهداشت و یک شاخص برای آموزش اندازه گیری شده است. بر اساس شواهد تجربی این بررسی، سرمایه انسانی متغیری اثرگذار بر رشد اقتصادی در این گروه از کشورها می باشد. در این میان آموزش نسبت به بهداشت اثر قوی تر و معنی دار تری بر رشد اقتصادی دارد.
