Abstract

Gaining insights from human capital theory, this study has examined the effect of determinants of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) on economic growth through the mediating role of human resource development (HRD). For data collection, questionnaires were administered to students of various technical education institutions in the five districts of Baluchistan, Pakistan. The statistical results obtained through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) for multivariate analysis support the entire hypotheses. The study proposes some suggestions to researchers and policymakers who are interested in determining the impact of TVET on economic growth through social inclusion indicators such as HRD.

期刊介绍： In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
